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.

Fluid identification, a critical process in fluid sampling, continues to be a challenge in temperatures above 350°F. At temperatures up to 450°F, fluid identification is currently achieved by bubblepoint and compressibility measurements, which cannot quantitatively measure contamination levels of the sample fluid. A possible solution involves using pyroelectric detect…
