case study

The pitfalls of utilizing an existing vessel without proper review are highlighted.

This case study outlines a methodology to optimize and control hydraulic fracturing parameters by achieving 100% cluster efficiency and overcoming formation leak-off.

This case study investigates the reasoning behind the solidification of barite behind the casing with the aim of developing solutions for efficient casing removal and the potential use of settled barite as a barrier material.

The Energy & Environmental Research Center in North Dakota outlines the difficulty that the oil and gas industry faces in pinpointing sources of H2S production.

To choose the right technologies for a gas-compression package, it’s critical for operators to have a clear understanding of their business and greenhouse‑gas emissions-related goals. Operators also need clarity concerning the impact of evolving requirements on total cost of ownership as well as potential financial ramifications.

The retrofit merged enhanced gravity separation with induced gas flotation within the same vessel. Detailed insights into the design, operation, and performance of hybrid flotation systems are provided, offering valuable guidance for similar initiatives in the petroleum industry.

A seismic prediction model is developed and presented in a case study to simulate the magnitude and timing of triggered seismic events with the intent to manage and mitigate environmental impacts resulting from induced seismicity during subsurface development activities.

Traditional oil extraction methods hit a snag in noncontiguous fields, where conventional flow-based EOR techniques falter. In southwest Texas, a producer faced imminent shutdown of its canyon sand field due to rapid production decline. Field tests using elastic-wave EOR determined whether the field could be revitalized or if a costly shut-in process was inevitable.

To avoid costly interventions like sidetracking or wellbore abandonment, a check-valve system was installed near the sandface within three injector wells which prevented the mobilization of fines from the reservoir into the wellbore by stopping backflow.
