This paper describes a gas-injection pilot that has been implemented in offshore Middle East carbonate reservoirs to assess injectivity, productivity, macroscopic-sweep efficiency, flow assurance, and operational efficiency in a field that has a long water-injection history.

The operator has initiated a cyclic-steam-stimulation project in the Opal A diatomite of the Sisquoc formation on the Careaga lease in the Orcutt oil field in Santa Barbara County, California. This paper discusses steam-injection step-rate tests (SRTs) for this asset as part of its expansion.

The polymer-injection project in the Dalia field, one of the main fields of Block 17 in deepwater Angola, represents a world first for both surface and subsurface aspects.

This paper studied three residual-free fluid systems for acid treatments and fracturing in order to develop no-damage or reduced-damage and highly effective stimulation techniques for long-interval wells.

Challenging environments such as unstable clay formations represent high operational risk when running tubulars after drilling is completed.

The Loma Alta Sur (LAS) field is a multilayer fluvial sandstone reservoir in the Neuquén basin of Argentina. Colloidal-dispersion-gel injection was considered a viable strategy to improve oil recovery in the field after early water breakthrough.

The first in what is expected to be a series of compendia focused on cutting-edge research and field experiences in health, safety, security, environment, and social responsibility (HSSE-SR) is now available for free download from SPE. The goal behind this collection is to offer readers a cross-section of technical papers presented around the world at various flagship…

SPE’s Board of Directors has created a new Completions technical discipline, concluding that the interests of SPE professional members from the drilling and completions, and production and operations communities would be best served if completions became a separate technical discipline.

Regardless of the oil price, large joint venture upstream projects have significantly underperformed on cost, schedule, and production. Smaller upstream projects have not fared much better.1 While there are a number of good books that go into some detail on reasoning focused principally on project management, poor decision quality played a very significant role in the…

John H. Graham Jr., SPE, A. Paul Baclawski, SPE, John F. Templin II, Steve T. Whitaker, and Dean R. Richmond have formed a privately held, startup upstream oil and gas acquisition company titled Senex Energy Partners. Before forming the company, the founders of Senex worked together as senior analysts in Devon Energy’s new ventures and acquisitions and exploration tea…
