Intelligent completions could improve many of the world’s oil and gas wells, but not all are suited to the technology. There is another option.
Casing deformation has emerged as a major challenge in China’s unconventional oil and gas fields, prompting the development of new solutions to address the issue.
The US supermajor is using one of its lowest-value hydrocarbon products to generate double-digit production increases in its most prolific US asset.

California denied 21 oil drilling permits in July in the latest move toward ending hydraulic fracturing in a state that makes millions from the petroleum industry but is seeing widespread drought and more dangerous fire seasons linked to climate change.
-
A 2-year study of a formation used for saltwater disposal in the Bakken may hold promise of decreasing the pressurization of the formation and increasing the reuse of the briny produced water.
-
A wellbore repair tool was successfully deployed to rectify collapsed tubing in a remote well off the coast of Papua New Guinea.
-
The implementation of fishbone stimulation helped to more than double estimated well productivity and tripled the production rate in a tight carbonate reservoir well compared with conventional stimulation during initial testing.
-
When fracturing, simply shooting all the perforations at the same spot in the casing can offer increased production at a low cost.
-
This study in a shale-oil formation quantified the hydraulic fracture propagation process and described the fracture geometry by developing a geomechanical forward model and a Green’s function-based inversion model for low-frequency distributed acoustic sensing data interpretation, substantially enhancing the value of the LF-DAS data in the process.
-
This paper’s authors describe the development of a coiled tubing (CT) nitrogen-lift design in which CT and geothermal reservoir simulations were combined to overcome modeling limitations.
