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.

Founded in 2008, GA Drilling is developing plasma-based tools to achieve drilling speeds that are about three times faster than what conventional bit technology has historically achieved. -
The DOI guidance explains how states can apply for the first $775 million in grant funding available this year under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to create jobs cleaning up polluted and unsafe orphaned oil and gas wellsites across the country.

Drillers are feeling good about higher oil prices, but only to a point.
-
SPE Technical Directors Silviu Livescu and David Reid talk about the intersection of AI and drilling.
-
The paper provides information to engineers for selecting high-viscosity friction reducers and describes a methodology for evaluating damage potential and proppant transport.
-
The authors describe the benefits of a single-phase retarded inorganic acid system, which they write features the same benefits as emulsified acids while eliminating the drawbacks of the latter.

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?
