case study

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.

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.

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.

An intelligent drilling optimization application performs as an adaptive autodriller. In the Marcellus Shale, ROP improved 61% and 39% and drilling performance, measured as hours on bottom, improved 25%.

Bottle tests are the preferred method to test petroleum emulsion stability in the industry today. A new technique using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is available to evaluate both stability and demulsification behavior of emulsions.

While drilling in deepwater Gulf of Mexico, a topdrive failure forced the shutdown of all drilling operations for the rig operator and lasted for 114 hours.

In an era where capital markets are hitting the brakes on funding the US shale sector, operators have increasingly pivoted from production growth to maximizing the rates of return via lower-cost wells.

Autonomous Inflow Control Valve technology demonstrates significant benefits within first year.

Researchers use novel methodology to measure the thermo-electric properties of native crude.
