This case study by CNOOC and Halliburton highlights how enhanced multizone sand control treats eight unequal zones in one trip and reduces completion time by 60 hours in Bohai Bay, China.
US buyers are looking for extra shale inventory and added another $18 billion in purchases in October alone.
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.

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. -
Operator targets first oil 30 months after field sanction of $1.5 billion heavy-oil project that will use a refurbished wellhead platform and FPSO.
-
This paper presents a continuous passive magnetic ranging technique that can provide real-time distance and direction to the offset well while drilling without interrupting drilling operations.
-
This paper highlights nontraditional methods to cure oil-based-mud losses in horizontal wells drilled in unconventional plays.
-
The authors of this paper write that the use of high-angle wells through anisotropic shale formations represents a promising approach to improving oil recovery while reducing the overall number of wells required.
-
This paper highlights the continuous improvement of multilateral technology used in the Middle East by demonstrating how the application of a multilateral well strategy is a proven and reliable method to reduce time-intensive operations.

This paper addresses the deployment of an external protective coating with a rough surface profile in wells identified as susceptible to common cementing issues.
-
This paper provides examples for planning and execution of primary and remedial managed pressure cementing in deepwater drilling operations.
