Drilling
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 presents a case study of oriented tubing-conveyed perforation followed by an acidizing operation to overcome technical challenges posed by a depleted reservoir targeted for a carbon capture, utilization, and storage project.
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.

The integration of the latest state-of-the-art technology in modeling and measurement of drilling dynamics and borehole quality has enhanced the understanding of bit, bottomhole assembly, and drillstring design. This can be seen in recent work on analysis of cutter-formation interaction, borehole-quality improvement, and modeling improvements.
-
This paper describes a collaborative project to analyze affected wells, identify commonalities, and optimize bit design and drilling parameters to mitigate the effects of borehole spiraling.
-
In this paper, bottomhole-assembly lateral behavior is analyzed using different types of computations, including static, dynamic, frequency-based, and time-based.
-
Digitalization and automation of the drilling process drive the need for an interoperability platform in a drilling operation, where a shared definition and method of calculation of the drilling process state is a fundamental element of an infrastructure to enable interoperability at the rigsite.
