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 presents a study that confirms glass-reinforced-epoxy-lined tubing as a reliable, cost-effective solution for long-term water-injection service in moderate-salinity offshore environments.
-
This paper presents an intelligent tube solution that combines data retrieved by the sensors with the actual resistance of each pipe in the well to allow adjustment of production parameters while ensuring installation safety. -
This paper introduces a method using a Bayesian network to aggregate trends detected in time-series data with events identified by natural language processing to improve the accuracy and robustness of kick and lost-circulation detection.
-
Diagnostics firm TGT launched its newest acoustic platform that it says broadens flow analysis by adding radial distance to the data collected.
-
The US-based drilling contractor and well completions company will combine to form the second-biggest service company in North America.
-
The first long-haul overland conveyor system to deliver proppant is under construction in the Permian Basin.
-
This paper describes efforts at the Hydraulic Fracturing Test Site 2 to collect a research data set to improve understating of spatial and temporal hydraulic fracture dimensions, proppant distribution, and reservoir depletion.
-
This study illustrates how a combination of a straddle-packer system and a downhole real-time telemetry successfully stimulated up to 38 stages while maintaining packer-seal integrity and downhole pressure.
-
This paper presents an integrated system for fracturing optimization using real-time and historical data along with organizational knowledge and the challenges and key considerations of implementing such a system.
-
This paper describes the analysis of actual performance data for acid fracturing in a tight carbonate formation to investigate the ineffectiveness of the process.
-
The authors of this paper describe an underbalanced coiled-tubing drilling campaign in the operator’s onshore fields using a closed-loop system design.
