This paper attempts to describe some of the common problems and to help prevent some common errors often observed in diagnostic fracture injection tests (DFITs) execution and analysis.

Analytical tools are useful for reservoir management and can provide simplicity while capturing information derived from events occurring at smaller time scales, which are ordinarily sacrificed in numerical simulations to keep run times reasonable.

The continued search for oil and gas relies in equal measure on good management and superior petrotechnical expertise. The key is ensuring that the two worlds mesh smoothly.

This paper focuses on experimental methods quantifying water-based muds and investigating effects on particle bridging, filtrate invasion, and permeability.

Qatar has unveiled a plan to become the Middle East's energy research and development center now that it has completed a massive liquefied natural gas production upgrade.

Well-control fluids were used during a routine overbalanced workover operation in an offshore well completed in high-permeability sandstone.

The increasing global scarcity of water means more companies need to see and begin treating water as an asset, said Emmanuel Garland, environmental expert with Total, during a topical luncheon titled “Water Management—Change of Paradigm: Water as an Asset.”

A destructive run of three hurricanes has been a catalyst for a flurry of innovations in decommissioning shallow-water wells in the US Gulf of Mexico.

In artificial-lift applications, a new anchoring device for insertable progressing-cavity pumps (I-PCPs) extends I-PCP applications to a larger set of candidate wells.

More than 21 billion bbl of light, sweet crude oil will be extracted over the lifetime of the Bakken and Three Forks shale plays, according to the latest projections from energy consultancy group Wood Mackenzie.
