Horizontal drilling isn't new. Such wells have been drilled for the better part of a century. But combining it with hydraulic fracturing to produce gas and oil from shale is a far more recent ...
Despite early predictions of a natural gas crisis in the early 2000s, the U.S. dramatically increased its natural gas production, particularly through fracking and horizontal drilling techniques. This ...
Discusses Horizontal Drilling Strategy and Impact of Recent Equity Offering on Deleveraging Goals May 20, 2026 11:00 AM ...
Horizontal drilling and fracking as a combined technique grew in popularity in part because it was shown to increase the production potential of oil and gas wells by making it possible to access ...
Efficient drilling in shale reservoirs requires detailed 3-dimensional (3D) horizontal well trajectories. An orthogonal-arc trajectory (OAT) method assumes a single constant curvature in the curved ...
In today’s high-demand energy sector, utilities and infrastructure developers face increasing pressure to deliver projects more quickly while minimizing disruption to the environment and surrounding ...
