... the efficiency and pace of production operations and development. These improvements may not fit precisely in every basin or play but generally hold to themes that can be tested against and built upon. Themes such as the quantity of proppant, longer lateral length, or the number of stages can be directly tied...

... the stimulation and production phases relate to internal and external pressure resistance, sealability, corrosion and cracking, erosion, and wear. Furthermore, with the increase in lateral length and the more demanding well geometries, the OCTG capabilities related to high cycle fatigue, connection runability...

... We began to observe drilling challenges as lateral lengths began to increase. Over the course of the first ten years of the Marcellus drilling program, we had drilled less than five wells that exceeded 10,000’ in lateral length. The challenges faced and time it took to drill those wells raised...

..., and water saturation. Moreover, the effect of several design parameters, such as well inclination and azimuth, stimulated lateral length, stage length, number of clusters per stage, and amount of fluid and proppant are studied. A data driven model is developed using AI techniques. Results show...
