Directional/complex wells
The agreement formalizes JV ownership of Turnwell Industries which ADNOC Drilling created to manage a $1.7 billion unconventional drilling contract awarded in May.
This paper describes installation of autonomous inflow control valves in the Bretaña Norte field in Peru, enabling effective water control even though the trial well was placed in the flank, close to the oil/water contact.
This paper describes the qualification of a multilayer, open-cell matrix polymer system for the first horizontal deployment in an offshore gas well.
-
This paper proposes a method to radically revise the well-path-generation process to reach the vision of planning a well in one day with high quality, relying on the collection of experience-based constraints from each discipline to generate possible alternatives. -
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.
-
This study highlights the strategic implementation of coiled tubing to convey perforating guns in extended-reach wells, overcoming the lockup effect through the deployment of downhole tractors and real-time monitoring tools.
-
This paper details a successful pilot to improve long-term well performance using acid stimulation aided by a tailored metal oxide nanoparticle-based fluid in the Wolfcamp A formation.
-
This study introduces a detailed model to capture the physics and chemistry of acid flow in complex horizontal wells completed in carbonate formations.
-
This paper describes the technical challenges of drilling and running casing in superlaterals in the Vaca Muerta unconventional play.
-
As technology continue to evolve and reservoirs become more challenging to access, the drilling industry is further improving its efficiency and derisking operations through the use of artificial intelligence, lighter and stronger pipes, and sophisticated data analytics.
-
This paper describes the engineering design and operational execution practices that supported setting of a new extended-reach world record in a mature carbonate field offshore Abu Dhabi.
-
This paper presents the mitigation of drilling challenges encountered in the Niger Delta through a technique that relates shale resistivity to shale porosity and vertical effective stress to predict pore pressure.
-
This work provides a new modeling tool, validated against a static-wellbore solver and field data, to estimate and manage downhole temperature in higher-temperature oil, gas, and geothermal wells.
