Casing/cementing/zonal isolation
This paper expands the understanding of geopolymer/microsphere interactions and presents design considerations for alternative cementing materials under low-temperature regimes.
This paper describes an alternative lower-completion concept for developing Lower Wilcox reservoirs referred to as high-angle multifractured well design.
This paper presents a comprehensive literature review of perforate, wash, and cement techniques that compares new methods with traditional ones and uses field cases and computational fluid dynamics to find the most cost- and time-effective practices without sacrificing safety.

The paper presents predicted vs. measured wear for six wells in the Culzean field, a high-pressure/high-temperature gas condensate field in the central North Sea. -
The authors describe a study analyzing a comprehensive data set recorded in casing-cemented sandwich sections and recovered during the abandonment of a well in the Valhall Field.
-
The authors seek to eliminate the need for pressure testing in the evaluation of annular creep barriers by qualifying the barrier using only cased-hole log measurements.

In the October 2021 issue of JPT, incoming SPE President Kamel Ben-Naceur discussed the importance of collaboration in solving technical problems quickly and efficiently. Three of the papers selected in this section are from collaborations between multiple companies pooling their expertise and resources to develop solutions for complex problems that could not be addre…

The authors describe a laboratory method for measuring cement expansion that has been used to evaluate the total bulk volume change of cement based on curing in a dry environment and in water.
-
The authors describe a study in which leakage-rate modeling was performed to identify and evaluate the associated risks for designing a remedial action plan to safeguard a CO2 storage site.
-
The authors write that polymeric additives are effective in the design of complex systems to house important chemical reagents under challenging conditions.
