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.
This paper describes the use of coiled tubing in a pilot project for carbon dioxide injection, enabling evaluation of the conversion of an existing oil field for CCS purposes and derisking storage-development uncertainties before having to cease hydrocarbon production.
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.
-
Fervo Energy’s bet that fracturing methods can be used for geothermal power is looking like a winner. -
North Dakota's EERC argues that the suboptimal frac jobs of yesterday explain why fracture interactions boost production in the tight-oil play.
-
This paper proposes a multidomain approach to tackle petrophysical and geomechanical aspects of a fracture system governing the carbonate layer of an exploration well in Kuwait to assess producibility and qualification for stimulation.
-
The trend in fracturing designs has been longer stages with more perforation clusters, which save time and money. But there are a couple of companies testing whether shorter is better for production.
-
The US onshore business is looking flat at the moment, though these sorts of predictions are prone to sudden shifts.
-
This paper describes the material selection methodology and corrosion studies performed in a CO2 sequestration project to optimize well costs and improve overall project economics without jeopardizing the CO2-injector-well integrity.
-
This paper presents an intelligent tube solution that combines data retrieved by the sensors with the actual resistance of each pipe in the well to allow adjustment of production parameters while ensuring installation safety.
-
This paper introduces a method using a Bayesian network to aggregate trends detected in time-series data with events identified by natural language processing to improve the accuracy and robustness of kick and lost-circulation detection.
-
Diagnostics firm TGT launched its newest acoustic platform that it says broadens flow analysis by adding radial distance to the data collected.
-
The US-based drilling contractor and well completions company will combine to form the second-biggest service company in North America.
