This case study presents a procedure in which the operator compared production from wells with adjusted wettability to a control group, finding that the adjustments resulted in significant improvements in production and reductions in produced water.
Output is rising fast in the South American shale play and putting Argentina on a course to soon reach 1 million B/D.
This paper introduces in-pipe inspection technologies enabling high-resolution digital measurements of tubular internal diameter and wall thickness for critical downhole applications.

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.
-
The authors of this paper write that autonomous outflow-control devices can positively affect matrix acidizing by providing the best possible conformance.
-
Each of these papers presented at SPE conferences exemplifies engineering solutions to maximize commercial value while retaining focus on HSE and service quality.
