Casing/cementing/zonal isolation
This paper highlights nontraditional methods to cure oil-based-mud losses in horizontal wells drilled in unconventional plays.
The authors of this paper write that the use of high-angle wells through anisotropic shale formations represents a promising approach to improving oil recovery while reducing the overall number of wells required.
Cementing and zonal isolation remains an important topic to operators and service providers alike. Additionally, an increase in the number of papers with both academic and field-driven content shows that there is no lack of initiative for operators to materially improve on existing methods and technology.
