The biennial SPE Offshore Europe Conference and Exhibition will take place in Aberdeen under the theme, “How to Inspire the Next Generation,” to attract talent into the industry.

The oil industry has responded rapidly to the decline in oil prices of these last few months.

Today, there is a need for higher-strength coiled-tubing (CT) grades with better resistance to severe environments and better fatigue performance in both the tube body and the bias weld.

Microbial-influenced corrosion (MIC) has been implicated in few corrosion-related challenges in the well-service industry in the past.

A common problem in oil and gas wells is excess free gas or water production from only certain portions of the completed interval.

The technical contributions highlighted this year focus on matrix stimulation of carbonate and unconventional reservoirs.

Core-flow tests are usually conducted to test and model stimulation treatments at laboratory scale, to predict the performance of such treatments in carbonate reservoirs.

Mechanical-diversion techniques can ensure acid injection into the various intervals of naturally fractured reservoirs.

An operator developing tight carbonate reservoirs found that conventional acid stimulation with 15% hydrochloric acid (HCl) in horizontal wells did not provide expected results.

The operator has initiated a cyclic-steam-stimulation project in the Opal A diatomite of the Sisquoc formation on the Careaga lease in the Orcutt oil field in Santa Barbara County, California. This paper discusses steam-injection step-rate tests (SRTs) for this asset as part of its expansion.
