As natural gas pipeline systems have grown larger and more complex, the importance of optimization of design and operation of pipelines has increased. This paper examines the optimization issue for the Egyptian gas transmission pipeline network.

Tube leaks present in a water-cooled sulfur recovery unit (SRU) condenser can lead to a variety of process issues, including corrosion and the oxidative formation of acidic species. This work devised a novel method to verify such leaks within a SRU condenser.

H. Arthur Nedom, SPE, died 11 March 2013 in Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA. He was born 19 August 1925. Nedom served in the US Army Infantry in Belgium and Germany during World War II, and was awarded the Bronze Star for heroic conduct in battle.

The XII IATMI National Symposium and Congress was held recently in Jakarta under the theme, “Harmonization of Energy Policy in Efforts to Increase Production of Oil & Gas Reserves of Conventional & Unconventional Energy for Sustainability.” The event, which included technical talks and an exhibition, was attended by more than 500 people. The welcoming speech was prese…

A key argument for fracturing without water is that the water left behind causes damage that reduces long-term production.

In the southern North Sea, many fields suffer from declining gas production because of reservoir-pressure depletion and associated liquid loading.

There has been remarkable growth in the coiled-tubing industry in North America, resulting largely from the shale revolution. This growth attracted numerous new players into the industry, in addition to the capacity additions made by the existing service providers.

Horizontal wellbores typically encounter inefficiencies caused by friction during drilling and completion operations.

Sticking the coiled tubing (CT) is a major operational risk when performing a well intervention with CT. Stuck-pipe incidents often result in considerable production delay or, in the worst case, loss of the well.
