Researchers primarily attributed the increase to new drilling practices.

The study updated 2011-13 findings. Svetlana Ikonnikova, the principal investigator of the study and a research scientist at the bureau, said that developments in drilling technologies, market conditions, cost structures. and improvement in geological characterization prompted the updated assessment. “Five years ago, we hardly thought of multilayer or stacked well drilling, or of quadrupling lateral well length,” she said. The team used 3D modeling and advanced data analytics to enhance the understanding of -”. For more on this story visit ogj.com or click https://bit.ly/2QJ2hmE
