A Hybrid Analytical and Machine Learning Workflow for Completion Design Optimization in Unconventional Reservoirs
DownloadSpring 2024
Hydraulic fracturing combined with horizontal drilling is the key to unlocking tight reservoirs. However, understanding the relationship between reservoir characteristics, completion design and well productivity remains challenging. In the past decade, over 40,000 multi-fractured horizontal wells...

Exploring Effects of Participation in Group Social Skills Interventions on the Self-Esteem of Autistic Youth
DownloadSpring 2024
Autistic youth commonly participate in Group Social Skills Interventions (GSSIs) as social-communication difficulties are a core component of their diagnosis. In these groups, autistic youth spend many weeks gaining knowledge about neurotypical social expectations. However, the evidence for GSSIs...
