Gas Technology Institute (GTI) is joining forces with BHP Billiton Petroleum to develop technology that will enhance hydrocarbon recovery, cut costs and enhance the sustainability of shale resources in the Delaware Basin. GTI said that a new test site in Midland will feature a dedicated well to extract core to increase understanding of the stimulated reservoir volume within the Wolfcamp formation. Kent Perry, executive director of energy supply R&D at GTI, said: "Determining optimum spacing will potentially reduce the number of wells producers have to drill, conserve water, reduce emissions and minimise land footprint."
