“…In a more recent study, Pankaj et al [85] provided a general breakdown of the artificial lift systems currently in use in U.S. onshore wells. They found that approximately 40% of wells starting with an artificial lift system use gas lift, while 36% employ ESPs.…”

This chapter provides an in-depth analysis of the Bakken Petroleum System (BPS) in the Williston Basin, focusing on Improved Oil Recovery (IOR) techniques. It explores the significant advancements in drilling, completion designs, and artificial lift methods that have markedly boosted oil recovery in this prime unconventional resource basin. The chapter traces the history of oil production in the Williston Basin, highlighting the transformative impact of horizontal drilling and multistage fracturing. It delves into advanced drilling operations, emphasizing the role of high-performance motors, geosteering, and real-time downhole data in enhancing drilling efficiency. Additionally, the chapter examines the evolution of well-completion strategies, from traditional to innovative horizontal completions, and assesses their effectiveness through data analytics, numerical modeling, and field studies. The vital role of artificial lift systems in combating rapid production decline in shale formations is analyzed, comparing the efficacy of ESPs, Sucker Rod Pumps, and Gas Lifts. The interconnectivity between operational aspects is discussed, providing a unified view of how integrated strategies and technological advancements drive optimized oil recovery in the Bakken formation. This study aims to offer insights and strategic guidance for industry stakeholders, particularly concerning IOR in unconventional oil resources.

“…The major challenge of the present-day energy sector is to meet the constantly growing world energy demand. The world energy forecasts still show that hydrocarbon production will remain the foremost energy source in the coming decades (Pankaj et al, 2018). In other words, there is need for the oil and gas industry to provide more oil and gas than it currently producing, though the potential for discoveries of new fields is somewhat reduced due to global financial challenges and divestment into renewable energy.…”

Lean project management is quickly gaining acceptance in a variety of industries. The problem is despite the discovery of oil and subsequent exploration, Ghana has always been a net importer of crude oil, petroleum products, and natural gas. Given that lean management implementation inures to better performance and cost efficiencies, this study sought to ascertain the state of lean project management implementation in the upstream petroleum industry using Ghana as a case of an emerging economy context.Employing a Delphi style methodology by seeking experts’ opinions in the upstream sector of Ghana’s petroleum industry, the study found that even though lean project management implemented to an extent within the sector, its implementation is fraught with challenges such as low leadership to drive the lean process, management, and planning for the entire process. Experts in the field gave opinions as to the key considerations for successful implementation of lean project management in the upstream sector and the study recommended that lean project management should be emphasized more in the petroleum sector for higher performance that may inure to the country being a net exporter instead of a net importer of crude products.The study recommends strong leadership teams for the upstream sector to lead lean implementation with adequate training on lean project management provided to all staff for increased commitment and effective implementation that engenders a lean culture in the sector.
