This paper describes a hydraulic fracturing pilot project using a technique that generates higher fracture conductivity to reduce the drawdown during production and improve connection through laminations.

The authors of this paper present the results of implementing a rig-automation solution applied to 20 wells in Ecuador in 2022.

This paper presents autonomous-inflow-control-device installations in multiple horizontal wells of the Singue oilfield development in Ecuador.

Ecuador program will involve over 40 wells over 18 months.

The water-shutoff technique is used in some wells of the U reservoir in the Iro field of the Oriente Basin in Ecuador to restore production after an early water breakthrough. This paper compares the production historical data, workovers, and sand-body correlation of wells to understand reservoir behavior, shale-baffle-sealing continuity, the existence of different san…

The ruling protects half a million acres of land in the Amazon forest on which the Waorani have lived for centuries from being earmarked for oil drilling, campaigners said.
