Unwanted water production can erode well performance and asset economics if left unmanaged. Interwell’s precision water shutoff approach, grounded in diagnostics and engineered isolation, helps operators identify water-entry points, protect hydrocarbon flow, and restore sustainable well performance in mature and complex wells.
Equinor cites confined gas behind casing and calibration issues in investigation of Troll field well control incident.

Friction reducers play multiple critical roles in fracturing. A challenge in selecting the best one for the job is the growing evidence that performance varies, but objective performance measurements are lacking. -
Few industries contain as many phases, steps, and levels of interface between the start and end product as the oil and gas industry. It therefore is hardly surprising that communication, in all its varied forms, is at the very heart of our business.

Electric-powered fracturing fleets looked impressively resilient in 2020 amid what was otherwise a significant collapse for the hydraulic fracturing sector. Today, the situation is more complicated.

The paper describes an integrated work flow to apply autonomous inflow-control devices successfully in an offshore heavy-oil reservoir with significant uncertainty in remaining oil thickness and water/oil contacts.

SponsoredOriented perforating is an increasingly adopted practice for new well completions. But how to ensure these perforations are correctly aligned? Impact Selector’s Relative Bearing Tool focuses on downhole tool orientation and has an outstanding track record in identifying gun direction prior to shooting.

Using electricity to run oilfield operations is supposed to make everything better, but just getting the power needed is a challenge.
-
Hiber, an industrial Internet-of-Things startup, announced that it has signed an agreement with Shell to provide well-integrity monitoring solutions globally.

The obsession with better hydraulic fracturing has steadily pushed on shale production in year one, but the decline remains steep. Chemistry could help explain, and perhaps extend, the short productive life of these wells.

SponsoredWellbore deformation can occur at any stage in the life of a well. Whether a result of changes in temperature, pressure or tectonic forces, wellbore deformation may result in serious downhole issues such as restricted access for interventions or the loss of well integrity that may ultimately lead to premature well abandonment and significantly reduced economic perform…

SponsoredExtended reach wells provide access to otherwise inaccessible areas, improve production and reduce footprint. Advancements in completion technology allow producers to eliminate coiled tubing, perforation guns and milling out operations to lower project risks, costs, and environmental impact.
