Permanent downhole gauges (PDGs) can provide a continuous record of flow rate and pressure, which provides extensive information about the reservoir. In this work, a machine-learning framework based on PDG data was extended to two applications: multiwell testing and flow-rate reconstruction.

The development of multilateral wells and long-reach wells has become important to maximizing recovery for many fields. These technologies are often applied in offshore environments, where large reservoir areas are drained from one or more platforms.

This paper describes an “active” monitoring technique that uses a direct search method to optimize the sequence of interval-control-valve (ICV) positions during a routine multirate test in an I-well.

The authors present a geology-driven deep-learning estimated-ultimate-recovery (EUR)-prediction model for multistage hydraulically fractured horizontal wells in tight gas and oil reservoirs.

One of the biggest ways to lower the cost of production from shale would be to identify zones that are productive, or not, before fracturing them.

Hubert (Hugh) L. Elkins, an industry pioneer in offshore drilling equipment and technologies, died 18 March 2016. He was 81.

Edgar Rangel-German, SPE, commissioner of Mexico’s regulatory agency National Hydrocarbons Commission (CNH) and one of the key members behind the implementation of Mexico’s recent energy reform for hydrocarbons, died 23 March. He was 42.

InterMoor hired Folabi Bolatiwa as general manager of its Nigerian operations. Bolatiwa joined the company in 2007 as an engineer and has more than 10 years of experience in the offshore oil and gas industry, serving in engineering, operations, and management roles. He was previously the company’s Gulf of Guinea operations manager and helped launch its Nigerian office…

As operators look to reduce the time and cost for projects, adopting a modular approach to facility design. While this approach may provide some benefits, it may not be the most efficient path.

Influence is an important part of engineering. It is not enough to develop a brilliant design; you have to convince someone to build it. Intuition and reason are important factors in influence.
