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.
Field examples from the Bakken Shale and Permian Basin illustrate the benefits of deploying polymer-coated and uncoated scale inhibitors in unconventional wells.
-
The authors of this paper write that computationally coupled models enable swift, accurate, and engineered decision-making for optimal asset development. -
BKV Corp. has combined bullhead and liner refracturing methods to create an approach called the hybrid expandable liner system.
-
A new study from Saudi Aramco shows that the answer to the industry's billion-dollar corrosion problem might be sitting in your medicine cabinet.
-
The authors of this paper describe a coating designed for enhanced erosion resistance for standard wire-wrapped screens that consists of ceramic or hard metal applied by plasma spraying.
-
With the higher adaptation of flow-control devices in recent years to improve flow segmentation and reduce the premature failure of sand control because of highly localized flow, flow-control-device implementation is becoming an integral part of sand-management strategy.
-
The authors of this paper propose an automated approach to sand prediction and control monitoring that improved operational efficiency by reducing time spent on manual analysis and the decision-making process in a Myanmar field.
-
Optimizing and continually increasing efficiencies at every stage of the drilling and completion process are central themes in the papers showcased in this feature. Innovating our way through difficult times is what the oil and gas industry excels at, especially during challenging periods. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the offshore energy industry faced immense strugg…

This paper discusses tools and techniques used to localize a tubing leak in a horizontally completed multilateral well, identifying the bore responsible for sand production and providing relative sand quantification at differing flow rates.
-
The authors of this paper describe a project in which retrofitted autonomous inflow control devices were deployed successfully in a field to minimize water production and maximize oil recovery.
-
Two firms are using hydraulic fracturing to create high-pressure water reservoirs that can be turned on and off to meet electricity demand.
