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 introduces in-pipe inspection technologies enabling high-resolution digital measurements of tubular internal diameter and wall thickness for critical downhole applications.
This study aims to systematically assess casing integrity and corrosion risks associated with CO2 injection in oil-recovery operations.

Using large-scale hydraulic-fracturing experiments on tight shale outcrops, three dominant regions controlling stage production were identified. -
An analysis of thousands of fracturing treatments in major plays in the United States provides insights into how fracture designs have changed over time.
-
Fiber optic pressure and temperature (P/T) sensing technology for multizone fracturing and production monitoring is enabled by a new feed-through (FT) technology that integrates the optical fiber within the multiple elastomer elements of a compact, swellable openhole packer system.
-
The demands for the fresh water used in many hydraulic fracturing operations are placing pressure on water sources in some regions of the United States. Because of the high volumes of water needed for fracturing and competing demands availability of fresh water has decreased and costs have grown.
-
This is the fifth article in a series covering water management in hydraulic fracturing in unconventional resources. The focus of this article is biological control. Additives to improve fracturing conditions can have negative effects on water treatment.
-
Statistics on well-integrity incidents are difficult to find in the literature. There are some examples of kick and blowout events, but normally they are scarce and focus on the number of incidents and their root causes.
-
The purpose of this work is to investigate typical fracture and collapse models with respect to accuracies in the input data.
-
Deepwater cementing becomes increasingly challenging as drilling operations move to greater water depths and more-remote locations.
-
Seizing on historic margins in domestic prices, North American oil and gas companies are increasing their efforts to use more natural gas and less diesel fuel to power their field operations.
-
Two large proppant makers have rolled out a new class of ultraheavy proppant built to stand up to the extreme stresses found on the frontiers of deepwater exploration.
