Fracking makes the Texas oil and gas industry possible; it may also be harming the state
Horizontal drilling and fracking as a combined technique grew in popularity in part because it was shown to increase the ...
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 ...
Oil majors are teaming up with start-ups in geothermal energy. Drilling of wells to tap geothermal energy is expensive, but companies have managed to lower costs in recent years. Fervo, a fast-growing ...
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 ...
