Completions
The papers that I included this month demonstrate real measurable efficiency gains and advantages, often processing volumes of data that previously could not be managed by conventional means. Performance measurement and drilling automation are two such examples, and the papers referenced this month, both as synopses and listed for further reading, fall into this categ…
This paper presents a physics-based approach to predict sand production for various reservoir and completion types, explored through a case study of recent production wells in a sandstone reservoir development.
The authors of this paper develop a model that can predict well-risk level and provide a method to convert associated failure risk of each element in the well envelope into a tangible value.
-
Second-quarter earnings for the three biggest oilfield service companies arrived with some new takes on where the market is headed. -
HiberHilo will be used to monitor remote oil and gas wells in Papua New Guinea, providing real-time performance and safety data.
-
SponsoredCatalyst Energy Services’ innovative technology lowers CO2 equivalent greenhouse gas emissions up to 40% and reduces waste up to 99% without sacrificing production output.
-
The paper presents a time-domain electromagnetic tool capable of quantifying four barriers individually and inspecting a fifth barrier qualitatively.
-
This paper describes an approach to estimate and remove guided-wave noise from array hydrophone data to improve accuracy of leak-source locations.
-
The paper describes a sensing system using distributed fiber optics that showed promising preliminary results for use in detection of riser gas in the form of kicks.
-
A study of a limited number of decommissioned oil and gas wells in England found no evidence of methane leaks, including four wells found to be leaking in an earlier study.
-
Another day, another deal for ProFrac.
-
Hitting the next well during fracturing happens all the time. Predictably doing that on a large scale in granite looks a lot harder.
-
New automated technology is making it possible to run pressure pumps for days on end.
