Majors and independents alike are targeting high-impact wells across the globe to boost future oil and gas production volumes.
-
One area where the untapped potential of geothermal energy has been realized is in harnessing thermal energy from abandoned or inactive oil and gas wells. Such wells could be exploited for electricity generation or direct use through well repurposing.
-
During the past 3 years, over half a million patents were granted for production monitoring. This progress has led to a shift toward integrated work flows, cloud-based platforms, resilient sensors, process simplification, and automation.
-
The papers described here focus on novel unconventional horizontal downhole pump card signatures, carbon reduction through alternative energy to pump wells, and predicting downhole-discharge pressure of ESPs.
-
High-pressure/high-temperature (HP/HT) resources continue to be a focus of efforts to apply new technologies that maximize productivity while addressing concerns related to capital expenditure, operating expenses, and high drilling costs. These cost-effective technologies will only grow in importance in exploiting HP/HT and ultra-HP/HT fields.
-
The long, successful history of various metallurgies in EOR wells has been cited as sufficient to allow the same completions for CCS injection wells. The lack of actual data on the long-term performance of these alloys in EOR wells in combination with the more-stringent requirements for Class VI wells suggests otherwise.
-
Artificial intelligence is increasingly being used to assist in the development of materials, including metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), to advance carbon capture technologies. Researchers assembled more than 120,000 new MOF candidates within 30 minutes.
-
Longtime leaders in artificial lift discuss and share their insights on the rapidly evolving segment’s past, present, and future.
-
SPE technical papers synopsized in each monthly issue of JPT are available for download for SPE members for 2 months. These February and March papers are available now.
-
The world of artificial lift has witnessed a remarkable revolution over the past 25 years, with many of the events and technology trends recorded in the Journal of Petroleum Technology.
