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.

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.
