In many unconventional reservoirs, accurately predicting effective fracture height remains one of the biggest challenges.  In thick stacked plays like the Wolfcamp formation in the Delaware Basin, effective fracture height becomes a critical factor in determining the number of stacked laterals required to successfully develop the acreage.  ConocoPhillips recently designed a vertical fracture characterization well …

  In 2008, IBM set a bold agenda for a Smarter Planet – a global movement built by infusing instrumentation, interconnection and intelligence into the systems that drive human progress and economic growth.  The next wave of Internet of Things (IoT) value creation will be led by those who are focused on inventing new capabilities …
