Drilling
This paper presents laboratory-testing methods and evaluation criteria designed to improve understanding of both the origin and extent of formation damage associated with CO2 injection.
This work introduces an analytical model for nonisothermal CO2 injection that accounts for both Joule-Thomson cooling and interformation heat exchange.
As managed pressure drilling gains traction, its principles are influencing a wider range of well-construction activities.

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?

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…
