Directional/complex wells
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.
The Research Council of Norway’s $118,000 grant will support development of longer fishbone laterals to raise production while lowering carbon footprints.

This paper describes a successful U-turn trajectory test in South Texas that has created new economic project opportunities for the company and increased optionality within challenged lease spaces across the field.
-
Capitalizing on technology that originated with NASA delivers savings on directional drilling operations.
-
This paper presents a screenout-classification system based on Gaussian hidden Markov models that predicts screenouts and provides early warning.
-
The paper highlights two case studies to illustrate successful development of marginal prospects to unlock remaining potential.
-
This paper describes a study aiming to provide input for the well-completion-strategy design and operational parameters for a carbonate reservoir experiencing electrical-submersible-pump failures.
-
This paper details new technologies and work flows implemented for Australian offshore wells to improve drilling efficiency while managing associated risks.
-
The paper demonstrates the application of an interpretable machine-learning work flow using surface drilling data to identify fracable, brittle, and productive rock intervals along horizontal laterals in the Marcellus shale.

SponsoredExtended reach wells provide access to otherwise inaccessible areas, improve production and reduce footprint. Advancements in completion technology allow producers to eliminate coiled tubing, perforation guns and milling out operations to lower project risks, costs, and environmental impact.
