Operators continue to look for ways to improve the economics of their lower quality assets - Tier 2 and Tier 3. The latest trend in the Tier 2 assets in the North Dakota Williston Basin is to increase the lateral length from 10,000 ft to 15,000 ft. Proponents argue that the increased lateral lengths offer a cost-effective increase in recovery efficiency. Critics raise concerns about operational complexities and deteriorating productivity per foot. This case study will review the history of the 15,000 ft laterals in Williams County, identify the drilling and completion designs, and determine the productivity of the increased lateral length.

Geochemistry gets mentioned a lot in subsurface discussions—but what does it actually do? In this session, Jennifer Adams, Geochemical Advisor at Patina Energy, breaks down the basics of geochemistry, the problems it helps solve, and how it’s applied in real-world reservoir and development decisions. No prior geochem background required.

U.S. shale production has fueled historic growth, but expansion is slowing in mature basins like the Permian. As capital discipline increases and inventory quality declines, the industry must decide what comes next.

This presentation evaluates three strategic paths forward: Exploitation, Re-Entry, and Exploration. While exploitation and re-entry extend existing assets, true long-term upside lies in renewed exploration. Yet exploration today faces reduced risk tolerance, diminished technical depth, and fragmented subsurface datasets, with millions of well logs stranded in paper or legacy formats.

Using large-scale empirical analysis of well log header data, specifically bottomhole temperature (maturity proxy) and mud weight (pressure proxy), this talk demonstrates how regional trends can be mapped, tiered, and blind-tested to identify overlooked opportunities in mature basins.

Shale is not finished, but the next phase of growth will require a return to geologic fundamentals supported by disciplined, data-driven exploration.
