Novel multizone stimulation technologies have enabled the development of tight resources that previously could not be developed economically and have enabled optimization of production resources distributed over thick gross intervals.

This past spring, I had the opportunity to review more than 100 SPE paper abstracts as well as numerous full papers from those abstracts. To SPE’s credit, these abstracts all represent high-quality papers, making it difficult to select those to be highlighted for this feature.

As oil companies have moved to more-marginal reservoir targets, application of conventional techniques has often yielded disappointing results, and tighter zones are often abandoned for more-promising target intervals.

In the Danish central graben, tight chalk reservoirs have been developed successfully through drilling, completion, and stimulation of long horizontal wells.

Field trials were conducted by BP on the commercial version of wired pipe with a comprehensive suite of logging-while-drilling (LWD) tools, measurement-while-drilling (MWD) functionality, and rotary-steerable- capability on two Wyoming wells in 2007.

When the first pipelines moved crude from wellhead to market in the early 1870s, it was difficult to balance the product in the line to the storage tanks at each end. If the receiving station was not ready for the crude, the sending station risked pumping too much product.

Solid-expandable tubular (SET) is widely used to patch casing and has proved to be cost effective.

The general industry perception is that, when drillstrings or casing strings exceed conventional helical-buckling criteria, they cannot be operated safely in the hole because the risk of failure or lockup is too high.

A successful field trial in which foam was used as a gas-injection conformance enhancer was implemented in the Cusiana field in Colombia.

A number of hurdles need to be overcome to reach a successful action/reaction, problem-free status in EOR operations.
