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.

This paper investigates condensate-banking effects on well performance by conducting field-modeling studies on Delaware Basin deep Wolfcamp condensate producers using compositional simulation models with hydraulic fractures. -
This paper presents a novel methodology that merges principles of physics, data science, and uncertainty modeling to offer more-resilient and -precise solutions for managing real-time pipe-sticking occurrences
-
As US shale potentially stares at a production plateau, operators and service providers are turning to smarter tools to extend the life of aging plays.
-
This paper presents a comprehensive literature review of perforate, wash, and cement techniques that compares new methods with traditional ones and uses field cases and computational fluid dynamics to find the most cost- and time-effective practices without sacrificing safety.
-
The authors of this paper describe a method of stimulating a multizone hydrocarbon-producing well wherein a tool is deployed downhole by wireline to generate acid vapor at a target depth, allowing each interval to be treated uniquely.
-
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.
-
This work proposes a method to interpret far-field strain-change and pressure data to quantify fracture connectivity and properties at the cluster level.
-
This paper extends an integrated two-scale continuum model that contemplates mass, momentum, and energy changes to study the acid-stimulation process in complex carbonate acid-stimulation systems with the development of fracture and vug networks.
