SponsoredWith more surface facilities and infrastructure in oil and gas fields, well casing integrity is becoming an even bigger challenge. This article sheds light on the optimum way to deal with the increasing casing integrity challenges in the Middle East through field monitoring and time-lapse casing-integrity and corrosion-inspection logging.
-
This paper outlines issues to be resolved during facility design and provides guidelines, calculations, and examples for sand-handling steps to be implemented after separation.
-
Permian Basin oil wells produce a lot of water. Much of it is injected into disposal zones above and below the basin’s primary oil- and gas-producing zone. When water is injected into these disposal zones, the pressure increases, mainly because no fluid is concurrently removed. Is this increase in pressure a concern? The data would suggest yes.

The authors of this paper describe a model-driven work flow developed for hydraulic fracturing design and execution that could be a resource for other shale plays with similar challenges worldwide.
-
This paper presents a case study of integrated geomechanical and reservoir simulation with a developed fracture conductivity calculation work flow to evaluate well spacing and completions design.
-
The authors of this paper write that computationally coupled models enable swift, accurate, and engineered decision-making for optimal asset development.
