World Oil Article- Hydraulic Jet Pumps Prove Worth For Lifting Early Production
Although they were once relegated to frac flowback
operations, jet pumps are now showing potential
as an artificial lift method to maximize production
potential. One Denver-based operator has recorded
a first-year incremental cash flow improvement of
approximately $850,000 per well by using jet pumps
instead of rod pumps. May 2014.
SPE Article- The Value Proposition for Advanced Completion & Stimulation Designs in the Bakken
The Bakken boom in North Dakota is currently focused on the Central Basin area where around half of the drilling rigs in North Dakota are now operating. What makes this area different compared to previous areas of Bakken development is that there is only minor structural variation and significantly less naturally induced fracturing as compared to the higher permeability rock facies that exist in the sub-reservoirs of earlier Bakken development. October 2013.
SPE Article- Breaking Up Is Hard to Do: Creating Hydraulic Fracture Complexity in the Bakken
The Bakken drilling boom in North Dakota has seen a frenzy of activity over the past several years as operators sought to hold acreage and create value with the drill bit. This has been particularly true in the Central Basin portion of the Williston Basin. However, advances in completion technology caused such a fundamental shift in economics that the whole Central Basin area of over 2500 square miles has been opened to economic development. February 2013.
