Shell and Tomson Technologies completed field trials in the Gulf of Mexico using new nanoparticle-enabled phosphonate and polymer inhibitors that improve the treatment lifetime of scale squeezes.

A combination of computational-fluid-dynamics and finite-element modeling offers a potentially powerful tool for assessing and diagnosing multiphase-flow-induced vibration problems in hydrocarbon-production piping systems.

Innovative elements of digitalization and automation of workflows provide a new approach for better handling of slugging in subsea developments with long tiebacks, potentially optimizing production and limiting the amount of flaring.

Wellbore tortuosity is a term that has steadily increased in relevance to the oil and gas industry over the past decade, but its importance is especially clear in the current environment.

The success of any digital oilfield project is predicated on the quality of the data structure, acquisition, communication, validation, storage, retrieval, and provenance of the data.

This article addresses a means to improve hydraulic fracturing operations by measuring the perforation effectiveness on a stage-by-stage basis before the hydraulic fracturing process begins.

Discussed are real-world examples of the less often considered but valuable environmental benefits delivered via MPD.

The E&P subsurface sector today faces the lowest reserve replacement ratios in decades as well as an increasing need to maximize recoverable oil and gas from developed fields.

Often it is too difficult to create the fault conditions necessary for training a predictive maintenance algorithm on the actual machine. A digital twin generates simulated failure data, which can then be used to design a fault-detection algorithm.

A multizone water-injection project has ultimately proved a method of using intelligent completion interval-control valves in place of traditional sand-control completions in soft sand reservoirs.
