This case study presents a procedure in which the operator compared production from wells with adjusted wettability to a control group, finding that the adjustments resulted in significant improvements in production and reductions in produced water.
This study aims to systematically assess casing integrity and corrosion risks associated with CO2 injection in oil-recovery operations.
This paper presents findings reinforcing the argument that acid fracturing is a strong alternative stimulation method to improve productivity in the Austin Chalk formation.
-
This paper describes the testing of a novel concept based on resistivity measurements to monitor acid-stimulation operations. -
This study aims to investigate the efficacy and feasibility of cryogenic-fracturing technology in enhancing the permeability of unconventional-reservoir-rock analogs.
-
This work is a study of collapse pressure of perforated pipes to evaluate the effect of lateral perforations on the radial resistance of pipes under external pressure.
-
Significant production gains are being made with hydraulicly fractured wells using diversion to stimulate a higher percentage of the perforations.
-
There is increasing interest in drilling the Austin Chalk formation, with hopes that the latest unconventional development methods can deliver a boom in a play that has seen several over a 90-year history.
-
As oil prices recover from the low point of the downturn, operators in the Permian and the Bakken are tackling water management issues.
-
Increasing lateral lengths, stage counts, and proppant intensity levels are contributing to a bullish outlook on frac sand demand.
-
This paper presents a critical review of the recent literature to determine the status of research and development and field application of nanotechnology in the oil field.
-
Development of a new polymer composite that degrades via hydrolysis in hot water or brine holds potential for use in structural applications for intervention-less downhole tools.
-
Shale explorers in Argentina are reporting that improving performance and activity is set to rise this year to boost the country’s gas production.
