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.
Natural gas-powered electric fleets look to pave the way for the next generation of power generation.
-
This study illustrates how a combination of a straddle-packer system and a downhole real-time telemetry successfully stimulated up to 38 stages while maintaining packer-seal integrity and downhole pressure. -
This paper presents an integrated system for fracturing optimization using real-time and historical data along with organizational knowledge and the challenges and key considerations of implementing such a system.
-
This paper describes the analysis of actual performance data for acid fracturing in a tight carbonate formation to investigate the ineffectiveness of the process.
-
The authors of this paper describe an underbalanced coiled-tubing drilling campaign in the operator’s onshore fields using a closed-loop system design.
-
The authors describe a casing-leak-repair alternative to allow continued hydraulic fracturing of an unconventional formation.
-
The authors describe coiled tubing operations that used a riser on a monohulled vessel already performing riserless interventions.
-
The first acid job dates to 1895. Challenges remain, however, when it comes to lithology, coverage, penetration, and management of reaction products. These themes remain a focus for stimulation engineers.
-
In this paper, a comparison is presented of the range of production outcomes for Clair Phase 1 and Clair Ridge, including the potential downsides of relying on natural fractures.
-
This paper presents a novel mathematical model for design and evaluation of fluoroboric acid treatments that takes into account the chemical kinetics and equilibrium aspects of important reactions and fluid flow inside the reservoir rock.

When there are two ways to measure something, and they offer significantly different numbers, which do you use?
