…reviewing 350 technical papers, published by the shale industry in summer-2019. Major improvements are gathering momentum, in shale-EOR, machine learning techniques, digitalization and frac fluid chemistry. $499.00 – Purchase Checkout Added to…
Completing a shale well depends on over 40 variables. Each one can be optimised using data. It follows that next-generation data will deliver next-generation shale productivity. Hence our new, 25-page…
…we assessed Chevron’s shale patents, to identify technologies that could support guidance for 900kboed of Permian production by 2023. Page 3 sets out Chevron’s technologies for shale exploration and appraisal,…
Completing a shale well depends on over 40 variables. Each one can be optimised using data. It follows that next-generation data could deliver next-generation shale productivity. This note focuses on…
Will Shale-EOR add another leg of unconventional upside? The topic jumped into the ‘Top 10’ most researched shale themes last year, hence we have reviewed the opportunity in depth. Stranded…
Future US shale productivity can still rise at a 5% CAGR to 2025, based on evaluating 300 technical papers from 2020. The latest improvements are discussed in this 12-page note,…
This data-file decomposes the drivers of shale productivity in Alberta’s Duvernay play, across a correlation-matrix of 23 different variables. Machine learning can be used to predict 78% of the variance…
The Majors’ deepening interest in shale was illustrated by Chevron’s $50bn acquisition of Anadarko. Consolidating in the Permian fits our ‘Winner Takes All‘ thesis. But who else wants more shale…
…gains described in our thematic research. Shale productivity trebled from 2012-2018. We think it can effectively double again by 2025, unlocking 15Mbpd of shale production. However beforehand, productivity will disappoint…
