Drilling
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.
