This paper introduces in-pipe inspection technologies enabling high-resolution digital measurements of tubular internal diameter and wall thickness for critical downhole applications.
Output is rising fast in the South American shale play and putting Argentina on a course to soon reach 1 million B/D.
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.
-
This paper discusses the keys to the successful delivery and well productivity of the first seven of 40 planned wells of the BP's PSVM development. -
For those in shale exploration, “fracability” is a real word, a critical property, and a point of contention.
-
With inconsistent inlet water quality being the rule rather than the exception, sizing and operational considerations of the treatment system components must vary accordingly to make the most economic sense.
-
While shale unproved technically recoverable resources have been identified around the world, development has been limited to North America.
-
Some operators are returning to their North American mature unconventional shale wells to refracture, or restimulate, the rock to accelerate production and enhance ultimate recoveries.
-
Recently, a new structure located in northwestern Kuwait was drilled and tested with a deep-drilling rig.
-
This paper gives an overview of the latest developments in how advanced finite-element-analysis (FEA) tools are used to verify, optimize, and validate ultra-HP/HT completion and production tools.
-
The purpose of this paper is to apply multivariate statistical modeling in conjunction with geographic-information-systems (GIS) pattern-recognition work to the Eagle Ford.
-
Production from the Bakken and Three Forks formations within the Williston basin is continuing to climb as a result of applied horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing.
-
Using large-scale hydraulic-fracturing experiments on tight shale outcrops, three dominant regions controlling stage production were identified.
