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 the characterization and comparison of a metakaolin-based geopolymer as a candidate treatment for remedial operations in oil and gas wells versus conventional state-of-the-art materials. -
The collaboration has announced Closed Loop Fracturing, which combines real-time subsurface data with automated surface control.
-
Researchers with the National Energy Technology Laboratory showed that naturally occurring signals in underground fluids can serve as effective indicators of flow patterns between existing wellbores. Understanding these patterns can lead to increased efficiency and safety.
-
This study explores enhancing gas production through a novel combination of prestimulation using a coiled tubing unit and high-rate matrix acidizing.
-
The upstream industry has viewed real-time completions as a long-term goal, but the technology is already in use.
-
This paper describes the development of a method of predicting drillstring-friction coefficient during tripping operations that can be used for early warning of stuck pipe.
-
This paper proposes a time-series analysis approach to build a reliable, easy-to-use tool to automatically detect stuck pipe accurately and early.
-
This study aims to thoroughly assess the influence of various completions, fracturing stimulation, and intrinsic reservoir properties affecting the productivity of 10 major unconventional plays while uncovering insights and trends unique to each play.
-
This paper investigates condensate-banking effects on well performance by conducting field-modeling studies on Delaware Basin deep Wolfcamp condensate producers using compositional simulation models with hydraulic fractures.
-
This paper presents a novel methodology that merges principles of physics, data science, and uncertainty modeling to offer more-resilient and -precise solutions for managing real-time pipe-sticking occurrences
