This paper describes the use of coiled tubing in a pilot project for carbon dioxide injection, enabling evaluation of the conversion of an existing oil field for CCS purposes and derisking storage-development uncertainties before having to cease hydrocarbon production.
This paper describes the first riserless coiled tubing services operation performed in a live subsea well and the associated improvements in efficiency, cost savings, and safety.
This paper describes a case history in the UAE in which the cleanout of scale contaminated with naturally occurring radioactive material was conducted successfully.

The deal resulted from the exercise of ConocoPhillips’ preemption right to acquire the stake when operator Origin Energy had intended to sell it to US energy investment firm EIG Global Energy Partners for $2.12 billion. -
The new pressure-pumping company says that its new natural-gas-powered fleet is the most powerful of its kind in the US market and reduces the footprint on well pads by 70% vs. the average diesel fleet.

Highlights of what the US oil and gas chief said to SPE members at the recent Hydraulic Fracturing Technology Conference.
-
The perspectives gained from the Hydraulic Fracturing Technology Conference offer a glimpse of life after COVID-19, which looks better and different.
-
Carbonate reservoirs require effective acid stimulation to improve well productivity. For long horizontal wells, a complicating factor has previously been the difficulty of controlling acid placement along the reservoir section. The Smart Liner concept uses a number of small holes spaced in such a way so as to distribute the acid evenly along the reservoir interval.

Even though total produced volumes are projected to hit new record highs in the coming years, treated water is expected to be comparatively lower than in the past, despite water disposal practices increasing oilfield seismic activity, with earthquakes nearly doubling in West Texas alone in 2021.
