...). The Permian Basin spans across Texas and New Mexico and includes multiple subregions, including the Central Basin Platform, Northwest Shelf, and two subbasins, the Midland Basin and Delaware Basin (Fairhurst et al. 2021) (Figure 1). The ages of the subsurface formations range from the Triassic...

... imperative if Permian supply is going to be maintained through to the end of the decade. This study evaluates the remaining inventory and explores how various well spacing scenarios, ranging from 4 to 12 wells per section (WPS), impact production potential across the various Midland Basin Formations.

... deformation. Ongoing deployments in the Eagle Ford and Midland Basin are further informing basin-specific risk models. Recent developments integrate these features into a hierarchical machine learning architecture, incorporating convolutional and transformer-based models, that identifies short-term anomalies...

... Abstract This study assesses empirical correlations and time series models for forecasting production in unconventional oil wells, focusing on their effectiveness in complex reservoir dynamics. Utilizing data from 11 unconventional wells in the Wolfcamp Formation, Midland Basin. The research...

The Barnett fairway occurs along the transition zone from the Central Basin Platform into the Midland Basin. Operators continue to push the extents of this fairway into the basin...

... Abstract The objective of this research was to develop Pressure-Volume-Temperature (PVT) correlations for ten formations within the Midland Basin: Upper Spraberry (USB), Middle Spraberry (MSB), Lower Spraberry (LSB), Middle Leonard (ML), Dean, Wolfcamp A (WCA), Wolfcamp B (WCB), Wolfcamp C1...

... difference and production compared across the bins. The Midland Basin shows more consistent results than the Delaware Basin, with most wells drilled slightly (5-15°) counter-clockwise from Shmin, and highest average first year's length-normalized production (∼20 BOE/ft) from wells drilled in that direction...

... Abstract In this study, we examined wireline data from various organic-rich mudrock formations in the Midland Basin. We incorporated the Vernik-Kachanov rock physics model and showed that by accounting for mineralogy, porosity, fluids, pore shape and effective stress, the model can...
