Drilling
This paper presents the application of degradable particulate-diverter technology to improve oil production by effectively diverting stimulation treatment fluids away from high-water-cut, high-permeability, high-temperature producing intervals or zones.
This paper presents the methodology for developing drill-in organophilic clay-free invert-emulsion-fluid technology that enhances well production through fundamental geological studies and fluid testing.
This paper presents the large-scale deployment and operational integration of an advanced, automated rheometer in the Ghawar gas field, one of the world’s most prolific and technically complex hydrocarbon developments.
