This webinar presents an integrated data-driven evaluation of oil production across ten major U.S. tight formations: Austin Chalk and Eagle Ford (Gulf Coast Basin), Bakken (Williston Basin), Barnett Shale (Fort Worth Basin), Bone Spring (Delaware-Permian Basin), Marcellus Shale (Appalachian Basin), Niobrara (Denver and Powder River Basins), Wolfcamp (Delaware and Midland, Permian Basin), and Woodford (Anadarko and Arkoma Basins). The study utilizes a dataset of over 43,000 horizontal wells, each with a minimum of 36 months of production history and initial gas-to-oil ratios below 10,000 SCF/STB, ensuring analysis of stabilized oil-dominated trends. By applying normalized production metrics (NPI) and estimated ultimate recovery (EUR), the research identifies the most productive plays and systematically ranks them in terms of long-term performance. Results reveal that sweet spots are generally concentrated within the 6,000–12,000 ft oil generation window, with deeper wells showing enhanced recovery linked to higher maturity and reservoir pressures, whereas gas-prone plays like Marcellus and Barnett consistently rank lowest. Wolfcamp Delaware, Bone Spring, and Bakken emerge as the premier oil-prone systems. This study demonstrates how large-scale production analytics and reverse-engineering of petroleum systems link production outcomes with basin controls and guide future strategic development of unconventional reservoirs.
