Goodrich Petroleum Corporation today announced that its Huff 18-7H-1 (97% WI) well in Amite County, Mississippi was successfully fracture stimulated with 17 stages and had commenced flowback at expected fluid rates when the well became plugged up with frac-related debris at a frac plug approximately 500 feet into the lateral, which will need to be cleaned out prior to resuming flowback. Therefore, completion results are expected to be released after the first of the year as soon as flowback has resumed and peak rate achieved.
Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Global Offshore Drilling Market 2013-2018" report to their offering.
The Bakken-Three Forks Shale Oil Innovation Conference & Expo taking place February 10-12 in Grand Forks, ND announced its preliminary agenda this week. The sessions will showcase 100+ industry experts who are currently utilizing or developing new technologies, innovations and approaches to yielding greater efficiencies in the Bakken-Three Forks shale formations.
Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin have developed a simple scaling theory to estimate gas production from hydraulically fractured wells in the Barnett Shale. The method is intended to help the energy industry accurately identify low- and high-producing horizontal wells, as well as accurately predict how long it will take for gas reserves to deplete in the wells.
Infinity Energy Resources, Inc., an independent oil and gas exploration and development company, today announced that it has entered into an agreement with CGG, a fully integrated Geoscience company providing leading geological, geophysical and reservoir capabilities to the global oil and gas industry. Under the terms of the agreement, CGG will provide 2-D and 3-D seismic mapping and processing services on Infinity's oil and gas concessions offshore Nicaragua.
Langan Engineering & Environmental Services officially announced the opening of an office in Bismarck, North Dakota. The firm established operations in North Dakota to support the unprecedented opportunities brought on by the exploration, extraction, and transportation of oil and gas produced by the Bakken Formation, an extensive oil-bearing shale in the Williston Basin underlying portions of North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Saskatchewan and Manitoba.
Kinder Morgan Energy Partners, L.P. today announced it will invest approximately $107 million to expand its Kinder Morgan Crude and Condensate pipeline system (KMCC) deeper into the Eagle Ford Shale play in Karnes County, Texas.
Rango Energy, Inc., an oil and gas exploration and development company, is pleased to announce that as of 2pm Pacific Time, May 28th 2013, drilling has been initiated on its first well at the 11,000 acre Kettleman Middle Dome ("KMD") project.
Given that over 20 trillion cubic meters of natural gas, a third of the United States’ total reserves, are thought to be trapped in shale, and given the rush to exploit shale oil and gas resources by Australia, Canada, China, and other countries around the world—even oil-rich Saudi Arabia—it’s a wonder that producers still rely on models of how fluids flow underground that were devised in the heyday of oil and gas development.
Baker Hughes Incorporated and CGGVeritas announced today a collaborative relationship to improve shale reservoir exploration.
