The ultrasonic wellbore imaging firm is being taken over by Blackstone, the world's largest alternative asset manager.
This case study from Malaysia’s Petronas outlines a comprehensive review of perforation-charge testing across various tubular and reservoir conditions to help improve production from complex downhole scenarios.
This work evaluates CO2-based fracturing as a sustainable development approach for shale gas reservoirs in the Burgos Basin of Mexico.

This paper presents a novel mathematical model for design and evaluation of fluoroboric acid treatments that takes into account the chemical kinetics and equilibrium aspects of important reactions and fluid flow inside the reservoir rock. -
Coiled tubing has a key role to play, with strong arguments for itself: It is used throughout the life of a well, from exploration to abandonment, and its flexibility of use, combined with recent technology developments in pipe materials, real-time downhole telemetry, and specialized downhole tools—just to name a few—opens avenues to perform in a rigless manner many o…

The first acid job dates to 1895. Challenges remain, however, when it comes to lithology, coverage, penetration, and management of reaction products. These themes remain a focus for stimulation engineers.
-
When there are two ways to measure something, and they offer significantly different numbers, which do you use?
-
Fracture monitoring to optimize fluid volumes and designs remains a critical area of development. Research is ongoing with the focus on combining different monitoring technologies including tracers, fiber optics, downhole cameras, and microseismic monitoring.
-
The second phase of the project will analyze data gathered in Phase 1, with the goal of improving riser, wellhead, and conductor fatigue estimates.

SponsoredThis Q&A highlights the benefits of AI and ML to automate work flows and analyze data at a much faster rate—within minutes. These capabilities deliver a fit-for-basin approach designed specifically for US-centric work flows.
-
This paper describes an intelligent completion design installed in two deepwater wells with dual-zone stack-pack sand-control lower completions and the installation of an intermediate string to isolate the reservoir in each zone.
-
The mid-sized completions service provider is betting that automation will boost the competitiveness of natural gas-powered pumps.
