This paper describes a collaborative project to analyze affected wells, identify commonalities, and optimize bit design and drilling parameters to mitigate the effects of borehole spiraling.

At SPE’s Permian Basin Energy Conference, operators shared behind-the-scenes details on innovations such as drilling horseshoe wells and trimulfrac completions along with in-basin challenges such as handling produced water.

This paper analyzes the interaction of high-frequency torsional oscillations (HFTO) with lateral vibrations based on a model that accounts for the superimposed movement of whirl and HFTO at the bit.

In this paper, bottomhole-assembly lateral behavior is analyzed using different types of computations, including static, dynamic, frequency-based, and time-based.

This paper describes the suite of cloud-based digital twin tools that the operator has developed and is integrating into its operations, providing online, real-time calculation of scale risk and deployed barrier health to manage risk on a well-by-well basis.

This paper presents a specialized workflow that aims to quantify the severity of condensate banking and subsequently optimize reservoir development strategies for a deep formation in the Permian Basin.

This paper describes numerical modeling studies of fracture-driven interactions using a coupled hydraulic-fracturing-propagation, reservoir-flow, and geomechanics tool.

This paper investigates the use of machine-learning techniques to forecast drilling-fluid gel strength.

This paper aims to close some of the many knowledge gaps that exist in the field of drilling CO2 storage wells, a task that is expected to involve handling an influx of CO2 into the drilling fluid.

This paper presents a comprehensive literature review and critical examination of the published modeling and experimental studies regarding the recovery mechanisms of cyclic gas injection and the conditions under which the process can enhance oil recovery with the aim to identify lessons learned and areas in need of further study.
