Shallow-water offshore production began before 1900 and continues to be important. Technology to maximize economic production from shallow-water fields can be adapted from onshore or deepwater technologies.

This paper discusses the use of clamp-on sonar flowmeters to minimize losses associated with well testing and to gain the subsequent benefits seen with respect to production optimization and well deliquefication.

Queensland, Australia, is currently host to a number of coal-seam-gas (CSG) to liquefied-natural-gas (LNG) projects under development.

Surface jet pumps (SJPs) are simple, low-cost, passive devices that use a high-pressure (HP) fluid as the motive force to boost the pressure of produced-gas and -liquid phases.

The incredibly tight rocks that are the source of North America’s gas renaissance are off limits in Germany and France. Though Maersk drilled the first multifractured horizontal well in the North Sea in 1987, some European countries are now banning operations that have occurred legally for decades.

Drilling long horizontal wellbores and completing wells with multistage fracturing are common practices in shale-play development.

Mixed carbonate-/sulfide-scale problems have been reported when water is produced from carbonate reservoirs. This study presents interactions of lead sulfide and zinc sulfide coprecipitating with calcite.

In the Eagle Ford, an integrated approach to engineering and operations was key to optimize performance and improve understanding of the area.

To accelerate learning, an operator deployed a real-time, closed-loop downhole automation system (DHAS) in conjunction with wired drillpipe in the 8¾-in.-hole section.

This paper presents the LCDSS and elaborates on the use of it in the preparation and training phase and the operational phase, including forecasting.
