Completions
Chevron and Halliburton describe how they built and deployed the fully autonomous closed-loop fracturing system that enables subsurface-driven optimization.
Weatherford CEO Girish K. Saligram said the acquisition will bolster Weatherford’s completions offerings and unconventional reservoir capabilities.
Each of these papers presented at SPE conferences exemplifies the continued progress of industry solutions to maximize commercial value of basins within ever-changing oil and gas dynamics.

Despite tens of thousands of potential candidates and the proven upsides, the unconventional industry has largely overlooked refracturing—possibly due to the way it’s discussed.
-
To avoid costly interventions like sidetracking or wellbore abandonment, a check-valve system was installed near the sandface within three injector wells which prevented the mobilization of fines from the reservoir into the wellbore by stopping backflow.

High-pressure/high-temperature (HP/HT) resources continue to be a focus of efforts to apply new technologies that maximize productivity while addressing concerns related to capital expenditure, operating expenses, and high drilling costs. These cost-effective technologies will only grow in importance in exploiting HP/HT and ultra-HP/HT fields.
