Drilling
Oil and gas companies drilled 75 “high-impact” wells in 2024, representing 5.2 billion BOE.
This paper presents a comprehensive literature review of perforate, wash, and cement techniques that compares new methods with traditional ones and uses field cases and computational fluid dynamics to find the most cost- and time-effective practices without sacrificing safety.
The authors of this paper describe a method of stimulating a multizone hydrocarbon-producing well wherein a tool is deployed downhole by wireline to generate acid vapor at a target depth, allowing each interval to be treated uniquely.

The adage “prevention is better than cure” is the first thing we consider regarding formation damage, but how prepared we are for the treatment and cure to allow a well to perform to its full productivity or injectivity potential? And how can digital tools be an effective enabler? -
This paper presents a novel sandstone-stimulation technique using thermochemical fluids.

Changes in our industry have accelerated at a dramatic rate in an array of key technologies. Some of these initiatives have been under way for years and are familiar themes to SPE readers: artificial intelligence, automated decision making, data analytics, and visualization to name a few. Papers selected for this feature were chosen to highlight some of these areas of…
