This edition highlights three offshore technology papers that address a common industry theme: how targeted engineering solutions can reduce uncertainty, shorten operations, and make technically constrained offshore well activities more executable.
Three papers are highlighted as the primary contributions because of their broad industry relevance. They focus on improving formation particle-size characterization, expanding the application of openhole gravel packs in depleted and compartmentalized reservoirs, and advancing the understanding of capillary pressure in sand production.
This paper aims to establish a set of best practices for generating particle-size-distribution data from core samples.
-
This paper discusses the ecosystem challenges that face the development of nonmetallic tubulars, ranging from academia and research institutes to material suppliers and manufacturing facilities for pipe prototyping. -
This paper highlights an approach of using active hydrogen to stimulate hard-to-recover formations from candidate-well selection through pilot execution and evaluation.
-
This paper discusses the benefits of glass-reinforced-epoxy-lined carbon steel for tubulars, which provides long-lasting protection resulting in major cost savings throughout the life cycle.
-
This paper demonstrates the testing and validation of different mechanical evaluations of the integrity of fiberglass tubing using logging and intervention tools.
-
This study describes a technique combining borehole acoustic reflection imaging with production logging in a horizontal well experiencing high water cut with the aim of enabling a mitigation plan.
-
The authors investigate the utility of applying unconventional technology to low- or variably producing carbonate reservoirs to increase estimated ultimate recovery and decrease development-scale variability.
-
The aim of this study is to address and discuss the reservoir engineering aspects of geological hydrogen storage.
-
Operators tell an audience at the Unconventional Resources Technology Conference how a hybrid expandable liner system and machine-learning-based analysis improve the bottom line.
-
The chief operating officer of Chesapeake Energy tells the Unconventional Resources Technology Conference that small wins can pave the path to big achievements.
-
The objective of this study is to use expired medications as green corrosion inhibitors that can be used during stimulation treatments. Because the medications are expired and not fit for human consumption, the cost is inherently low.
