This paper presents a study that confirms glass-reinforced-epoxy-lined tubing as a reliable, cost-effective solution for long-term water-injection service in moderate-salinity offshore environments.
This paper introduces in-pipe inspection technologies enabling high-resolution digital measurements of tubular internal diameter and wall thickness for critical downhole applications.
This study aims to systematically assess casing integrity and corrosion risks associated with CO2 injection in oil-recovery operations.
-
In this study, pressure-while-drilling technologies are combined with software simulations to differentiate drilling-fluid thermal expansion, wellbore ballooning, and formation influx during riserless drilling operations. -
Thermal-well operations come with significant additional complexity in regard to maintaining wellbore integrity and hydraulic isolation from other formations.
-
Fracturing reservoirs effectively can be like boxing. Moving in close enough to land a powerful punch often means a fighter has to take some hits. To effectively develop all the productive rock in a lease, new wells are drilled as close as possible to older ones, making frac hits inevitable.
-
Secrecy lies at the heart of invention and capitalism to reward innovators with exclusive rights to their creations. But that secrecy can also come at a cost. With drilling and fracturig, the ingredients and chemicals used to obtain oil and gas are legally allowed to be kept confidential.
-
Exception-based monitoring of real-time data by remote operators can increase operational awareness of drilling crews, which can significantly minimize well-control risks by taking proactive and precise actions.
-
The effect of frac hits on production economics is becoming more important as a result of the high-speed drilling in the US shale sector. Recent research reveals the financial and recovery risks involved if well spacing results in well-to-well interference.
-
A hybrid downhole microseismic and microdeformation array was deployed to monitor fracture stimulation of a vertical coal-seam-gas (CSG) exploration well in the Gloucester Basin in New South Wales, Australia, to provide more-accurate insight into overall fracture height.
-
The primary objective of this study is to address all known causes of productivity declines in unconventional shale gas formations with horizontal multifractured wells and to develop a fully coupled geomechanical/flow simulation model to simulate these production conditions.
-
This paper contrasts the detailed perforating and flowback plan with the results of the operation where a number of planned, and some unplanned, contingencies were faced.
-
This 1-day interactive workshop will examine completion/workover/intervention well-control incidents and explore closely a number of key aspects, including what human factors played a part in the well-control incident.
