DSDE: In Theory

For organizations that do it well, data management provides a competitive edge in an increasingly digital oil field. But teams all too often are so busy managing all the moving parts of data management that they take their eye off of “the prize”—the payoff after you have put everything into place to sustain successful data management.

As data sets collected in the field have grown exponentially, data management challenges have both evolved and compounded. This article addresses these pain points and presents strategies and solutions that should be implemented to ensure data compliance and entitlement and promote ease of accessibility, both internally and externally.

The authors of this paper evaluate the effectiveness of production-enhancement activities for a long-string, gas-lifted producer using distributed-temperature-sensing technology.

The authors of this paper present a laboratory-based model to determine the detachment of authigenic and detrital particles in formation damage.

The authors of this paper introduce a physics-based method for explicit pore-pressure prediction in naturally fractured shale petroleum reservoirs.

The authors of this paper aim to identify the effect of various geologic controls on hydrocarbon maturation in the Delaware Basin by restoring regional cross sections and performing simulations of organic-matter maturity.

This work applies an appropriate transient-test theory to demonstrate the applicability of each diagnostic plot along with clearly defining the characteristic features that allow each plot to be considered “diagnostic.”

This work explores the synergistic effects of smartwater in polymerflooding, surfactant/polymerflooding, carbonated waterflooding, and foam-assisted gas-injection.

The complete paper describes a combination of best practices and innovative techniques that help to provide rig-based and rigless opportunities by estimating potential and risk in a naturally fractured reservoir.

The authors of this paper describe a software technology that balances calculated well-integrity risk with the associated financial impact for an entire integrity-surveillance program.
