The combined effect of formation and completion damage is the observed well productivity development with associated skin and productivity index. Completion damage has the potential to affect well productivity to the same degree as formation damage.

Laboratory formation damage testing is often used to help select optimal drilling and completion fluids, but predicting the overall effect of formation damage on well performance requires further interpretation. Paper SPE 199268 presents a case for use of CFD to upscale laboratory data to quantify that effect.

A pressure-monitoring technique using an offset sealed wellbore as a monitoring source has led to advancements in quantifying cluster efficiencies of hydraulic stimulations in real time.

S13Cr tubing specimens experienced stress corrosion cracking with phosphate-based completion fluids contaminated with mud and oxygen, whereas formate-based completion fluid is compatible with the tubing.

Canada has several strategic advantages that can support a robust hydrogen industry. These include both carbon-based and renewable resources for producing hydrogen, a skilled energy sector, strategic infrastructure, and a history of being a global leader in the hydrogen and fuel-cell market.

A well-flux surveillance method to monitor and ramp up production for openhole standalone screen completions is described that optimizes production by considering risks of production impairment and screen-erosion failure.

Duo launches center of excellence aimed at promoting and expanding nonmetallic materials’ role in construction.

The service giant and a technology developer from Norway seek to create a broader market for two technologies aimed at lowering topside footprints and improved operational efficiency.

Asian markets continue to represent the leading edge of global economic growth, and with many of the international oil companies divested from the region, Southeast Asian operators in particular see themselves well positioned for the future.

Forecasters are predicting the sixth ‘above-average’ Atlantic storm season in a row.
