horizontal wells

One hydraulic fracturing job can stimulate two wells, but economic success hinges on doing it in the right place for the right price.

The new frontier of production improvement combines surveillance techniques and analysis to determine which variables boost output.

This paper details a successful pilot to improve long-term well performance using acid stimulation aided by a tailored metal oxide nanoparticle-based fluid in the Wolfcamp A formation.

This study highlights the strategic implementation of coiled tubing to convey perforating guns in extended-reach wells, overcoming the lockup effect through the deployment of downhole tractors and real-time monitoring tools.

This study introduces a detailed model to capture the physics and chemistry of acid flow in complex horizontal wells completed in carbonate formations.

The authors of this paper describe a project in which Raleigh frequency-shift distributed strain sensing monitored during production in a far-field observation well was translated to an estimated pressure profile.

This paper discusses tools and techniques used to localize a tubing leak in a horizontally completed multilateral well, identifying the bore responsible for sand production and providing relative sand quantification at differing flow rates.

This paper presents a physics-based approach to predict sand production for various reservoir and completion types, explored through a case study of recent production wells in a sandstone reservoir development.

Founded by former analytics experts for a large US independent, Xecta Digital Labs is proposing a new analysis method for horizontal wells. Adopting it means turning the page on some old habits.

This paper discusses novel acoustic techniques used to identify productive zones and areas of sand production in a well with a sanding event.
