Completions
Modern completions often are equipped with downhole measurement devices that provide critical real-time data not only during the hydraulic fracturing treatment but also during the ensuing production phase.
In this work, microseismic observations are integrated with strain and other observations to investigate the microseismic response in relation to the underlying hydraulic fracture geometry for different rock types.
This year’s Acidizing feature presents three SPE conference papers that discuss an important battlefront of enhanced production—carbonate reservoirs, those plays whose heterogeneity, reactivity, and flow behavior pose challenges that remain comparatively little-understood, despite the industry’s intensified efforts to maximize their 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.
-
The latest ruling reverses a lower court decision to block the Ecopetrol and ExxonMobil programs in the Andean nation.
-
This paper focuses on identifying a hydrofluoric-acid-derivative treatment that could be used as a single-step sandstone-acid treatment with all the associated benefits but without the need for acid-flowback services.
-
To improve the productivity index of a well in a carbonate reservoir offshore Abu Dhabi, a multilateral acid-jetting technology was adopted as a more-effective alternative to typical drainage methods.
