Explorer Emphasis Article By Louise Durham

Slow Injection For Better Well Re-Fracturing

It’s widely known that refracturing a horizontal well can help to reduce the interaction between so-called parent and child wells by causing a high stress area around the refractured wells and diverting child well fractures away from the parent well.

Beyond the Monte Carlo Approach: Unconventionals in Saudi Arabia

In low-price periods, unconventional resource producers measure success largely by their ability to keep operating costs low. But for Dan Georgi, team lead for reservoir engineering technology at the Aramco Houston Research Center, the best strategy moves beyond tweaking fluids and well design.

What's Next for Frac'ing in the UK?

As AAPG’s International Conference and Exhibition heads to London this fall, it will coincide with an anniversary of sorts. Almost a year ago to the day, the British government overturned a decision by local planners to allow a privately-owned British exploration company to once again conduct hydraulic fracturing operations in the region.

Debating Trump's Regulatory 'Twofer'

President Trump rolled out a two-for-one executive order, “Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs.” Who can’t get behind efficiency and economy in the regulatory state – especially in today’s oil and gas industry, where every bit of profit makes a difference? Well, the devil is in the details.

The World Keeps Not Running Out of Oil

“Peak Oil” — the idea that global oil production will soon reach a maximum and then begin to decline — attracted a significant number of believers in the 1990s and early 2000s. Then unconventionals happened.

A Retrospective on Source Rocks as Reservoir Rocks

In a recent EXPLORER, Marlan Downey lamented that he had not fully appreciated the idea that source rocks could serve as reservoir rocks for oil and natural gas. He was not alone.

Geothermal, Lithium, Hydrogen: New Energy from Subsurface Fluids Conference

For the first time, the American Association of Petroleum Geologists and Geothermal Rising are bringing together geothermal, critical minerals and gases to explore the connections between them, either in the formation of the reservoirs or reserves, or in exploring for, evaluating, and producing them. Specifically, the conference will bring together geothermal, lithium, geologic hydrogen, helium, iodine, and more in the form of technical presentations, probing panel discussions, poster sessions, and more.

DL Abstract By Isabelle Moretti

The Natural H₂ Exploration Started: Why, Where and by Who?

Why H₂ is generated in subsurface? Which are the reactions and the promising geological setting? Example in countries where H₂ have already been found: Australia, Brazil. Kinetic reactions: i.e., Is the natural H₂ renewable? What we don't know yet about this resource and about the H₂ systems (generation/transport/accumulation). Overview of the current landscape (subsurface law, permitting, E&P activity)
