In this second article of a series covering water management in hydraulic fracturing (HF) in unconventional resources, the properties and characteristics of the flowback fluids are discussed, together with the general categories of technologies that are best suited to treat them.

OTC recognized three figures who have contributed to facilities engineering: Dendy Sloan, Jim Brill, and Ken Arnold. They were recognized with the Distinguished Achievement Awards for their technical and leadership contributions to the industry.

The effects of turbulence/shear and thermal driving force on wax-deposition characteristics were experimentally studied using a waxy crude oil from the Gulf of Mexico.

Exploration wells, unconventional plays, and development wells can benefit from NeoScope, a sourceless formation evaluation-while-drilling solution. Two case studies share how the technology mitigates the risks or logistic complications associated with chemical nuclear sources.

The demand for more and more oil and gas has prompted the industry to seek new areas of hydrocarbon deposits, and the development of subsea completions has kept pace.

For the past 17-plus years, it has been my privilege to serve as your JPT Technology Editor. After growing up in the oil patch as the son of a sales engineer for a major service company, I have spent all but a couple of years of my adult life as an oily.

A mobile system has been developed that mixes consistent solutions of powder-based friction reducers (FRs) at the wellsite and adds them to hydraulic fracturing fluid.

This is the teaser.

The new influx of well capping companies finds ways to shut down wells by employing equipment used for everyday tasks. Their challenge today is to anticipate and develop equipment to prevent the potential blowouts of tomorrow.

China is regarded as a reliable customer for oil because of soaring local demand, but in recent years, it has also emerged as a global operator and provider of services.
