SponsoredWith more surface facilities and infrastructure in oil and gas fields, well casing integrity is becoming an even bigger challenge. This article sheds light on the optimum way to deal with the increasing casing integrity challenges in the Middle East through field monitoring and time-lapse casing-integrity and corrosion-inspection logging.

This paper describes an openhole wireline-logging operation in a deepwater Gulf of Mexico well in a high-pressure/high-temperature slimhole environment using water-based reservoir drilling fluid.
-
The authors of this paper present a method of retrieving downhole data that is a practical and inexpensive alternative to wireline or slickline logging and permanently installed sensors.
-
This paper presents field cases of a rigless wireline logging technique that accurately locates sources of water production in cased wells with standalone sand screens in an offshore field in the Caspian Sea.
-
This paper discusses a study undertaken to gain better understanding of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) characteristics of volcanic reservoirs with different lithologies.
-
This paper compares the results of gas identification and lithology identification using pulsed-neutron spectroscopy in openhole and casedhole environments.

Coring is essential to offshore exploration programs—but sometimes cores are taken from the wrong formation or return to surface in poor condition. One firm thinks it can solve these costly issues with a first-of-a-kind coring device that uses logging instruments that add accuracy and integrity.
-
The rising cost of fracturing offers a significant incentive for finding ways to avoid unproductive rock. One entrepreneur says he can use standard well logs to target the slice of rock likely produce most, and avoid the rest.
-
Coalbed methane development can require a large volume of wells, but the costs of logging can be prohibitive, so alternate formation-evaluation solutions are being evaluated. This paper compares state-of-the-art mining logging technology with conventional oil-and-gas approaches.

One of the biggest ways to lower the cost of production from shale would be to identify zones that are productive, or not, before fracturing them.
