Completions
Chevron and Halliburton describe how they built and deployed the fully autonomous closed-loop fracturing system that enables subsurface-driven optimization.
Weatherford CEO Girish K. Saligram said the acquisition will bolster Weatherford’s completions offerings and unconventional reservoir capabilities.
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.
-
This paper describes the first riserless coiled tubing services operation performed in a live subsea well and the associated improvements in efficiency, cost savings, and safety. -
This paper describes a case history in the UAE in which the cleanout of scale contaminated with naturally occurring radioactive material was conducted successfully.
-
The authors of this paper describe a method of stimulating a multizone hydrocarbon-producing well wherein a tool is deployed downhole by wireline to generate acid vapor at a target depth, allowing each interval to be treated uniquely.
-
In this work, microseismic observations are integrated with strain and other observations to investigate the microseismic response in relation to the underlying hydraulic fracture geometry for different rock types.
-
This work proposes a method to interpret far-field strain-change and pressure data to quantify fracture connectivity and properties at the cluster level.
-
This paper extends an integrated two-scale continuum model that contemplates mass, momentum, and energy changes to study the acid-stimulation process in complex carbonate acid-stimulation systems with the development of fracture and vug networks.
-
The authors of this paper write that autonomous outflow-control devices can positively affect matrix acidizing by providing the best possible conformance.
-
The Texas Railroad Commission has tightened its guidelines on the permitting of disposal wells in the Permian Basin.
-
US shale producers have stepped up their use of simultaneous fracturing techniques to cut costs and accelerate well delivery.
