case study

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.

Devon Energy along with petroleum engineering consulting and software firm Whitson and cloud computing company Snowflake developed a system to monitor the dynamics of 5,000 wells.

Casing deformations are common in the south-west shale regions of China and the Middle East, where the widespread use of 5.5-in., 26- and 26.8-lb/ft casing is the norm. In these regions, the majority of frac plugs are designed with an outer diameter (OD) of 4.055 in. or slightly larger, which frequently encounter restrictions resulting in the loss of bottomhole assemb…

An engineered approach to fracture growth in hydraulic fracturing highlights the successful execution of H2S prevention strategies in North Dakota’s Williston Basin.

Prior to proceeding with a contract to fulfil a rigless P&A campaign for Sasol in Mozambique, BiSN designed a field trial to prove the effectiveness of its bismuth plug technology. Although the technology had been used in 19 countries by BiSN for a variety of downhole applications, it had not yet been qualified for use in Mozambique.
