Casing/cementing/zonal isolation
A proposed integrated workflow aims to guide prediction and mitigating solutions to reduce casing-deformation risks and improve stimulation efficiency.
This case study investigates the reasoning behind the solidification of barite behind the casing with the aim of developing solutions for efficient casing removal and the potential use of settled barite as a barrier material.
Driller expects $370 million, all-stock transaction to close in early 2025.

The complete paper discusses a geophone array, including four, three-component geophones deployed by wireline, that provides a solution for this problem by creating a 3D map of the acoustic environment. -
When a plug gets stuck in a well, consider the cause. Often stuck fracturing tools are a warning sign of casing trouble. Companies that have investigated plug problems have been surprised by the findings.
-
An analysis of existing wells in the Martin Linge field, conducted by Equinor when it took over as operator from Total, revealed that several did not have sufficient barriers, leading the company to plan new wells to ensure safe operation.

In tectonically influenced regions, potential hydrocarbon traps are subject to complex states of stress. This scenario often translates into severe strike/slip (SS) and thrust-fault or reverse-fault (TF/RF) stress states.

The oilfield services company's Tubular Running Service was recognized for reducing costs, maximizing safety.

The cementing services market size in the US is expected to drop 50% year-on-year from 2019. The significant drop in Permian Basin activity will account for 40% of the total market size reduction.
-
This year, excellent papers have been presented, augmenting our knowledge and responding to the challenges of complex wells and efficiency requirements. At the same time as we “Strengthen the Core,” we continue to focus on design, delivery, and evaluation of cementing operations.
-
In the complete paper, a novel system that uses engineered features of permeable polymeric shell walls for the controlled release of encapsulated cargo is described.
-
The complete paper presents a case study in which offline cementing improved operational efficiency by reducing drilling times and provided significant cost savings.
-
This study used ultrasonic logging to evaluate reference barrier cells constructed with known defects. The cell concept was developed with an emphasis on low cost and ease of use.
