On the basis of safety performance results achieved through automation downstream, an operator set out to achieve the same advances in its upstream business.

Partitioning interwell tracer tests (PITTs) have been used to estimate remaining oil saturations (ROSs) during waterflooding.

This paper presents a new approach in monitoring the hydraulic system and in the recognition of well‑control events at an early stage such that proper counteractions can be initiated before any damage occurs.

This paper reports results of a well-control study for a program to develop a dual-gradient-drilling (DGD) system known as controlled mud pressure (CMP).

The development of the Kanowit field offshore Sarawak, Malaysia, requires the drilling of two subsea development wells with a semisubmersible rig.

The surge in unconventional completions over the last decade has created ample candidates for hydraulic refracturing, which has been demonstrated to be a viable alternative to the more expensive endeavor of drilling and completing new wells.

In this work, the authors perform automatic decline analysis on Marcellus Shale gas wells and predict ultimate recovery for each well.

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.

This paper describes field experiences and perspectives on a Smart Fields implementation for the Bonga deepwater field and uses the results of a post-implementation study to evaluate the business effects and lessons learned after 5 years.
