The advances presented in the selected papers, and many others, would not be possible without improvements in our understanding of materials, how to protect coiled tubing pipes, how to get the best performance out of them under downhole conditions that are becoming every day more extreme, and how to preserve wellbore completion at the same time.

SPE technical papers synopsized in each monthly issue of JPT are available for download for SPE members for 2 months. These May and June papers are available now.

Fracture monitoring to optimize fluid volumes and designs remains a critical area of development. Research is ongoing with the focus on combining different monitoring technologies including tracers, fiber optics, downhole cameras, and microseismic monitoring.

The volume reduction of naturally occurring radioactive material waste with indirectly heated vacuum distillation has been overlooked in research as a viable treatment option. This paper describes several key assessment factors that will allow a more detailed understanding of the benefits of that option.

This study introduces a detailed model to capture the physics and chemistry of acid flow in complex horizontal wells completed in carbonate formations.

Offshore Energies UK and Xodus are launching an offshore nesting bird census to get a better understanding of how the animals use oil and gas structures in an effort to protect them.

The Norwegian oil company said it may spend more than $130 million to get in on the emerging lithium brine business in Texas and Arkansas.

The authors of this paper describe a project in which far-field diverters were pumped to mitigate wellbore sanding and production loss in existing parent wells.

The EOR scene has evolved as well. Low-salinity waterflooding, originally thought to apply only in certain sandstone reservoirs, appears to be able to unlock additional reserves also for some carbonate formations, although the fundamental mechanisms are different.

Leadership engagement is needed to drive health and safety performance in a world of work in an increasing state of flux, according to a survey conducted by ERM.
