DSDE: In Practice

This paper shares details of 2 years of monitoring the first commingled updip smart water injector drilled in the Piltun area of the Piltun-Astokhskoye offshore oil and gas field.

A consortium of 20 organizations, REX-CO2, including research institutions, operators, and regulatory authorities, studied mature wells in two areas of the UK Continental Shelf. Subsurface data were evaluated and verified the wells’ potential suitability for both reuse and CO2 injection and storage.

Aramco investigates expanding the use of lasers in the upstream sector of the oil field.

This paper presents an automated directional-drilling process executed on a commercial well in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea, where a next-generation intelligent rotary steerable system completed a well section in a single run.

This paper describes a collaboration between the operator and a service company that resulted in a successful deployment of an automation platform to manage risks and optimize drilling operations in exploration wells.

This paper presents agile technologies that integrate data management, data-quality assessment, and predictive machine learning to maximize asset value using underused legacy core data.

The authors of this paper use a pattern-review technique in a complex brownfield as a tool to understand reservoir connectivity and dynamic fluid movements across the field.

This paper highlights a tailored chemical treatment strategy developed for solids mitigation for a Delaware Basin operator.

The complete paper builds on existing tools in the literature to quantify the effect of changing well spacing on well productivity for a given completion design, using a new, simple, intuitive empirical equation.

The authors of this paper describe a project that integrates carbonate stratigraphic forward models of outcropping formations and reservoir-modeling work flows.
