Fracturing/pressure pumping
The multiyear contract with YPF includes electric pumping units and automated stimulation services.
This paper describes an approach to creating a digital, interconnected workspace that aligns sensor data with operational context to place the completions engineer back into a central role.
This paper demonstrates how the integration of multiphysics downhole imaging with machine-learning techniques provides a significant advance in perforation-erosion analysis.

SponsoredExtended reach wells provide access to otherwise inaccessible areas, improve production and reduce footprint. Advancements in completion technology allow producers to eliminate coiled tubing, perforation guns and milling out operations to lower project risks, costs, and environmental impact. -
Incremental gains are not always celebrated, but as two of the biggest oil producers in the US show, they nonetheless can net unrealized savings and new efficiencies.

A 2-year study of a formation used for saltwater disposal in the Bakken may hold promise of decreasing the pressurization of the formation and increasing the reuse of the briny produced water.
-
When fracturing, simply shooting all the perforations at the same spot in the casing can offer increased production at a low cost.
-
This study in a shale-oil formation quantified the hydraulic fracture propagation process and described the fracture geometry by developing a geomechanical forward model and a Green’s function-based inversion model for low-frequency distributed acoustic sensing data interpretation, substantially enhancing the value of the LF-DAS data in the process.
