OnePetro, the multisociety online library of technical literature for the oil and gas industry, is offering limited selections of free papers. The collections are curated by industry companies and organizations and rotate every 3 months.
The two current collections were curated by TechTAC and TGS.
The TechTAC collection features five papers focused on improving the performance of wells using sucker-rod pumps for artificial lift. TechTAC, known for its Slimline Tubing Anchor Catcher, provides tubing anchor solutions for the oil and gas industry.
The five TechTAC papers are
- Unconventional Resources Well Cost Benchmarking Study: Trends, Forecasts, and Operator Efficiency
- Advancing Recovery: A Data-Driven Approach to Enhancing Artificial Lift Pump Longevity and Fault Detection in Oil Reservoirs Using Deep Learning, Computer Vision, and Dynamometer Analysis
- Workflow for Cost-Effective Reactivation of Low-Flow Wells in Deep and Mature Fields Using Compact Units for Sucker Rod Pumps
- A New Mathematical Model to Calculate the Multilayer Fracture Conductivity
- Optimizing Rod Pump Performance Using High-Frequency, High-Resolution Pressure Data
The TGS collection involves papers looking at a variety of issues, including wireline formation testing, carbon storage wells, fracture hits, and refracturing. TGS is a data company that focuses on data acquisition and presentation to enable data-driven decision-making.
TGS recently released TGS Pressure Data, an addition to its Well Data Analytics cloud platform. TGS Pressure Data incorporates pressure data sourced from drillstem tests through a partnership with the American Institute of Formation Evaluation and wireline formation tests from its raster library. The data allows geologists and reservoir engineers to assess reservoir characteristics, predict fluid cuts, and anticipate drilling challenges.
The five TGS papers are
- Innovative Formation Evaluation and Wireline Formation Tester Solutions for Ultratight Reservoirs, Incorporating High-Precision Techniques
- Shale Oil Quality Evaluation of Sand/Shale Laminated Reservoir Based on Wireline Formation Test
- Design of Carbon Capture and Sequestration Wells
- Fracture Hits in Unconventional Reservoirs: A Critical Review
- Refracturing on Horizontal Wells in the Eagle Ford Shale in South Texas—One Operator’s Perspective
