Report warns higher tight oil recovery rates needed
With oil prices dipping to $50 per barrel, and new capital spending on upstream oil and gas expected to fall by nearly a third to $436m in 2015, the future health of tight oil producers depends on their ability to improve recovery, says a report recently published by analystLux Research. Tight oil is trapped deep underground, in low-permeability shale and sandstone rock layers.

Distributed manufacturing 'revolutionary,' but needs to source funding, finds report
Local, small-scale, rapid design and production, called Distributed manufacturing (DM),comes from the ability to engineer and make few parts as cheaply as many, rather than the current model of high-volume, centralised manufacturing. However, it's not the answer for every product, and its impact will depend on economics and the demand for flexibility, according toLux Research.
