Directional/complex wells
This paper presents a case study of a tool-free fishbone fracture stimulation technology using sand jetting and acidizing in openhole wells, providing a technical solution for low-permeability and complex-lithology carbonate reservoirs in the Middle East.
This paper details a trial involving the deployment of a transportable coiled tubing (CT) unit capable of holding 30,000 ft of high-strength 2⅞-in. CT.
This paper presents a novel approach to overcoming extended-reach limitations in coiled tubing interventions by using a split-string system, demonstrating measurable improvements in reach and operational speed in laterals exceeding 3 miles.

This paper offers insight into an integrated effort at combining analytical information, numerical well-test models, and geological evidence to explain the reservoir behavior observed in the Huntington field. -
For thin-oil-rim reservoirs, well placement, well type, well path, and the completion methods must be evaluated with close integration of key reservoir and production-engineering considerations.

As part of a project that involves the use of four artificial islands to drill and complete more than 300 extended-reach-drilling (ERD) wells in a giant offshore oil field, several completion designs have been piloted for brownfield development.
-
There is no doubt that horizontal and complex-geometry wells have contributed significantly to the reliable supply of affordable energy, resulting in improvements to the quality of life of people around the globe.
-
A surface-based torque and tension sub (TTS) was used to perform measurements while drilling several extended-reach horizontal wells.
-
West Africa has seen a significant shift in drilling activity, mainly in deep water. Many of the major international operators are carrying out important exploration-and-development activities there.
-
The combination of ultrasonic pulse-echo and flexural-attenuation measurements was adopted in this project in the South China Sea for cement-integrity evaluation.
-
The first multilateral well in a North Kuwait field has been drilled recently.
