Devon Energy along with petroleum engineering consulting and software firm Whitson and cloud computing company Snowflake developed a system to monitor the dynamics of 5,000 wells.

SPE President Terry Palisch is joined by Dana Otillio, vice president of SPE’s marketing and communications, to discuss how members can maximize their membership by leveraging multimedia content.

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.

This paper provides insights into the technical and economic viability of repurposing oil and gas wells for geothermal energy production for direct heating.

This paper describes how near-real-time tracer data from the onsite tracer analysis enabled the operator of the Nova field to interactively optimize two well cleanups.

This work provides a new modeling tool, validated against a static-wellbore solver and field data, to estimate and manage downhole temperature in higher-temperature oil, gas, and geothermal wells.

This paper describes a case study in which, in the absence of a conventional production log, distributed fiber-optic sensing, in conjunction with shut-in temperature measurements, provided a viable method to derive inflow zonal distribution.

This paper discusses and evaluates retrofitting abandoned petroleum wells for geothermal applications as a commonly proposed solution to meet the challenge of the capital expenditure required for drilling and completion.

This paper presents an approach using artificial neural networks to predict the discharge pressure of electrical submersible pumps.

The authors integrated azimuths and intensities recorded by fiber optics and compared them with post-flowback production-allocation and interference testing to identify areas of conductive fractures and offset-well communication.

This paper aims to analyze the relevance of wind and solar energy for the supply of artificial lift systems on offshore platforms in the Brazilian equatorial region.

This paper provides an overview of a geothermal assessment project completed to assess geothermal energy resources in and around an operational high-pressure/high-temperature field on the UK Continental Shelf.
