Casing/cementing/zonal isolation
To enable a fully interventionless approach, a barrier-rated tubing-hanger valve has been developed to eliminate slickline intervention and minimize associated risks and operational time.
This paper describes an intelligent completion system in the context of multiple wells that, by electrifying the process, replaces the conventional electrohydraulic systems that have been in use for decades.
This paper investigates the effect of calcium oxide as an expansive agent on the performance of geopolymer-based sealing materials, with successful application in oil and gas wells at shallow depths.

The Eagle Ford shale in Zavala County, Texas, is similar to many high-carbonate-content oil-shale formations. -
To maintain zonal isolation throughout the life of a high-pressure/high-temperature (HP/HT) well, the cement sheath must perform reliably at temperatures that can exceed 315°C.

The Granite Wash formation presents several challenges in drilling the build section from a vertical open hole to form a lateral.
-
As operators continue to drill into deeper and more-extreme formations, the demand for technologies suited to these environments increases.
