This paper describes preplanning, execution, and results of drilling extended-reach wells with a large-bore design of 12¼-in. as the main stepout section and deploying 9⅝-in. casing at a shallow true vertical depth of 4,200 ft.

The authors of this paper present an approach integrating characterization of paleo zones, parameterization of paleo-zone conductivity, and application of flow profiles in a history-matching study of a dual-porosity/dual-permeability model.

The authors of this paper discuss Saudi Arabia’s progress in gas flaring, the measures the government has taken, and how operators have adapted.

The objective of this study is to conduct a comprehensive review of the latest technologies and work flows developed for heavy oil reservoir management.

Projects in the running include one each from Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, and Guyana.

This work explores the synergistic effects of smartwater in polymerflooding, surfactant/polymerflooding, carbonated waterflooding, and foam-assisted gas-injection.

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.

The authors of this paper describe a software technology that balances calculated well-integrity risk with the associated financial impact for an entire integrity-surveillance program.

The authors discuss a study based on twistoffs experienced with bottomhole assembly components during drilling operations and provide recommendations for reduction or elimination of these incidents.

This paper provides a work flow based on research in two methodologies to estimate formation-water salinity, enhancing the quality of saturation evaluation for quick decision-making during logging operations.
