Critical to success is the accurate testing in the laboratory that best approximates field conditions.

Distributed temperature sensing (DTS) is the most common fiber-optic measurement used for steam-assisted-gravity-drainage reservoir monitoring.

With the objective of increasing its production to 4.0 million BOPD, the Kuwait Oil Company (KOC) is developing its fields with optimum technology solutions.

Tar mats are encountered in many Middle East carbonate reservoirs. In cases in which tar acts as a flow barrier between water and light oil, water injectors work most efficiently when placed horizontally immediately above the tar mat to maintain pressure support during production.

The ultimate performance of fractured wells in tight reservoirs is affected severely by the interfering effects inside the fracture and interfractures.

Nine horizontal wells, including one injector well, were drilled in a marginal oil field in Bohai Bay, China. Seismic inversion indicates that sand properties and connectivity vary dramatically across the field.

Horizontal- or complex-geometry-well construction projects are potentially good candidates to work out new contractual arrangements. Authorization to proceed with these projects is technically based, and measurable key variables can be defined.

This paper discusses the laboratory evaluation of potential high-pressure/high-temperature (HP/HT) drilling-fluid designs considered for a deep gas exploration well in Malaysia.

This paper discusses a rigid-setting-fluid (RSF) system that has proved successful for curing severe dynamic and static losses, pumping treatments through the drillstring bottomhole assembly (BHA) (no trip out required), because of its highly controllable fast-setting properties.

Mutual understanding and respect when universities collaborate with industry is crucial. A clear policy on harmonizing innovation and higher education should be created. However, caution must be taken not to have a one-size-fits-all approach.
