Downhole instrumentation of the Khazzan tight gas appraisal wells provides a rare opportunity to quantify reservoir pressure and temperature dynamics.

Energized fluids—with the success of hydraulic fracturing in the US shale-gas plays, why are more operating companies not using energized fluids to minimize the use of water, decrease the amount of proppant required, and (theoretically) enhance long-term productivity?

This paper offers an analytical model for estimating the transient temperature at a given depth and timestep, for computing the BHP.

The paper discusses two gas/condensate-development projects offshore Vietnam that deploy managed-pressure-drilling (MPD) technology.

Air drilling has become popular in the Marcellus and Utica shale reservoirs because of its higher rate of penetration (ROP) and less resulting formation damage.
