Each of these papers presented at SPE conferences exemplifies the continued progress of industry solutions to maximize commercial value of basins within ever-changing oil and gas dynamics.
The paper presents the design and successful field deployment of the first closed-loop hydraulic fracturing program.
This paper reviews fracturing-program design, completion technology, real-time data collection, data integration, and lessons learned for the Pikka development on the North Slope of Alaska.
-
This paper presents a case study of oriented tubing-conveyed perforation followed by an acidizing operation to overcome technical challenges posed by a depleted reservoir targeted for a carbon capture, utilization, and storage project. -
This paper details a trial involving the deployment of a transportable coiled tubing (CT) unit capable of holding 30,000 ft of high-strength 2⅞-in. CT.
-
This paper reviews existing literature, the operator’s records, service-company data, and simulation studies to assess the risk of using seawater in carbonate acidizing.
-
The paper describes a project in which extremely challenging stimulations were performed in a fractured tight carbonate in a complex strike/slip stress faulting regime with high tectonic stresses.
-
This paper presents a novel approach to overcoming extended-reach limitations in coiled tubing interventions by using a split-string system, demonstrating measurable improvements in reach and operational speed in laterals exceeding 3 miles.
-
The works highlighted in this year’s Acidizing feature demonstrate novel, diverse innovations in sustainability, enhanced productivity, and logistical efficiency by authors of SPE conference papers.
-
The three papers in this year’s Hydraulic Fracturing Operations feature automation, challenging carbonate reservoirs, and work in Alaska’s North Slope.
-
This paper describes the successful deployment of flexible coiled tubing technology in an oil-producing well of the offshore Frade field in Brazil’s Campos Basin.
-
This paper presents a case study of a tool-free fishbone fracture stimulation technology using sand jetting and acidizing in openhole wells, providing a technical solution for low-permeability and complex-lithology carbonate reservoirs in the Middle East.
