The price responsiveness of shale producers: Evidence from micro data

Quantitative Economics, Volume 17, Issue 2, Page 394-430, May 2026.
We show that U.S. shale oil producers exhibit a high degree of short‐run price responsiveness, primarily through the timing of well completions and refracturing. Using a novel monthly well‐level panel covering over 120,000 shale wells across ten states from 2005 to 2019, we document significant supply adjustments to price signals.

Stimulated Volume Determination of a Horizontal Well in a Shale Oil Reservoir in the Vaca Muerta Formation and Its Interaction With Existing Fracture Networks

Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Hydraulic fracturing is a stimulation technique that plays a critical role to provide transport path networks in unconventional shale reservoirs, yet the quantitative characterization of fracture propagation, its interaction with natural discontinuities, and the resulting stimulated volume remain challenging in heterogeneous formations such as the Vaca

Experimental Study on Multiscale Evolution Mechanism of Coalbed Reservoir Properties in “Three‐Low” CBM Reservoirs Modified by Chlorine Dioxide

Geofluids, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Aiming at the “three‐low” challenges (low permeability, low gas saturation, and low critical desorption‐to‐storage ratio [CDSR]) of Chinese coalbed methane (CBM) reservoir materials, this study adopted chlorine dioxide (ClO2) chemical modification on long‐flame, coking, and anthracite coal materials.

Hydraulic‐Mechanical Coupling‐Driven In Situ Stress Field Evolution in Injection‐Production Well Patterns With Artificial Fractures

Geofluids, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Based on the theory of porous media elasticity and the mechanisms of hydraulic‐mechanical coupling, a fully coupled mathematical model for porous media deformation and fluid flow was established, incorporating a square inverted nine‐spot well pattern with artificial fractures. The finite element method was employed for numerical solution, and the model′

From Empirical Models to Physics‐Informed Neural Networks: The Evolution of Oil Production Forecasting

Journal of GeoEnergy, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Production forecasting for oil and gas wells is a decisive element of field‐development planning because it directly guides recovery strategy design, production optimisation and risk management. Conventional methods, including empirical decline‐curve analysis (DCA) and full‐physics numerical simulation, are limited either by their inability to capture ...

Characterization of mechanical properties of shale constituent minerals using phase‐identified nanoindentation

Computer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, Volume 40, Issue 4, Page 542-558, 4 February 2025.
Abstract Characterization of mechanical properties of shale constituent minerals (viz., the mechanical genes of shale) has been challenging but of great significance for engineering applications in shale formations. In this study, a phase‐identified nanoindentation is proposed to decode the mechanical genes of shale using a large nanomechanical dataset.
