Our industry’s demonstrated ability to innovate and continually improve well-construction technology will be all the more valuable to all plays if low oil prices persist, but especially so for shale and other high-cost-per-barrel plays.

This study examines the effects of drilling, completion, and production operations and their associated cyclic stresses on a cement sheath.

The combination of ultrasonic pulse-echo and flexural-attenuation measurements was adopted in this project in the South China Sea for cement-integrity evaluation.

The first multilateral well in a North Kuwait field has been drilled recently.

Complex reservoirs in the Junín block of the Orinoco oil belt of eastern Venezuela offer challenges in achieving higher production rates and maximizing extraheavy-oil recovery.

Al Khalij field offshore Qatar is formed of a highly heterogeneous carbonate reservoir with significant remaining dynamic uncertainties.

The development of multilateral wells and long-reach wells has become important to maximizing recovery for many oil fields.

One approach to refracturing involves the use of mechanical diverters such as perforation balls and rock salts, which may be useful for one stage; however, cessation of pumping operations results in these diverters falling out of the perforations or dissolving.

An operator successfully executed two wireline through-tubing gas-shutoff (GSO) workovers in high-angle openhole-gravel-pack (OHGP) completions to isolate high-gas/oil-ratio (HGOR) zones, resulting in significantly increased oil production.

I had the opportunity to discuss the state of the art and the future of reservoir modeling and reservoir performance forecasting with one of the finest members of the reservoir engineering profession, professor Larry W. Lake, of the University of Texas at Austin (UT).
