This paper presents information regarding the installation of intelligent-well completions (IWCs) in the Lula and Sapinhoá fields of the Santos basin presalt cluster (SBPSC).

Despite the currently deteriorating oil and gas prices, natural gas, the “least carbon-intensive” fossil fuel, is still projected by ExxonMobil, the International Energy Agency, and other sources to grow by 65% from 2010 to 2040

Disruptive technological advances may produce significant improvements in completion techniques.

Shale oil and gas wells use a lot of water in fracturing operations. Each well may use up to 8 million gallons, and as much as 35% of this can return as flowback water. Safe disposition is completely feasible and, in fact, is being broadly practiced today.

A new intelligent model that successfully learns from high-dimensional data and effectively identifies high-production areas and optimum lateral-re-entry candidates is presented.

Our industry’s demonstrated ability to innovate and continually improve well-construction technology will be all the more valuable to all plays if low oil prices persist, but especially so for shale and other high-cost-per-barrel plays.

This study examines the effects of drilling, completion, and production operations and their associated cyclic stresses on a cement sheath.

The combination of ultrasonic pulse-echo and flexural-attenuation measurements was adopted in this project in the South China Sea for cement-integrity evaluation.

The first multilateral well in a North Kuwait field has been drilled recently.

Complex reservoirs in the Junín block of the Orinoco oil belt of eastern Venezuela offer challenges in achieving higher production rates and maximizing extraheavy-oil recovery.
