Drilling
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.
Adequate consideration must be given to the potential effect of each fluid on the successive phase operations to ensure integrated well-fluids system management.

The service giant shares how its new technology can sense rock properties 50 ft ahead of the bit in horizontal wells. -
The agreement focuses on improving operational efficiency and consistency through advanced digital tools and real-time data integration.
-
An innovative approach uses a random-forest-based framework to link logging-while-drilling and multifrequencey seismic data to enable dynamic updates to lithology parameter predictions, enhancing efficiency and robustness of geosteering applications.

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 company’s new Retina imaging system creates high-resolution borehole images at the drill bit.
-
SponsoredAltitude Energy Partners optimized drilling efficiency by minimizing dysfunctions and protecting downhole components. Their directional drilling team ensured consistent curves and laterals through precise BHA design, modeling, and trajectory control—reducing nonproductive time and drilling costs, and achieving a 100% improvement in efficiency by pad completion.
