Horizontal drilling and fracking as a combined technique grew in popularity in part because it was shown to increase the ...

Despite early predictions of a natural gas crisis in the early 2000s, the U.S. dramatically increased its natural gas production, particularly through fracking and horizontal drilling techniques. This ...

The horizontal directional drilling market growth is driven by increasing investments in infrastructure development, expanding oil and gas pipeline networks, and rising demand for trenchless ...

Horizontal drilling isn't new. Such wells have been drilled for the better part of a century. But combining it with hydraulic fracturing to produce gas and oil from shale is a far more recent ...

Oil majors are teaming up with start-ups in geothermal energy. Drilling of wells to tap geothermal energy is expensive, but companies have managed to lower costs in recent years. Fervo, a fast-growing ...

In today’s high-demand energy sector, utilities and infrastructure developers face increasing pressure to deliver projects more quickly while minimizing disruption to the environment and surrounding ...

Efficient drilling in shale reservoirs requires detailed 3-dimensional (3D) horizontal well trajectories. An orthogonal-arc trajectory (OAT) method assumes a single constant curvature in the curved ...

With limited public notice, the US Army Corps of Engineers has placed a new option on the table for the future of the Line 5 pipeline as it prepares to make a high-profile permitting decision about ...
