Production

JPT’s first year of publication was one of groundbreaking events that would transform the global petroleum industry. A recap of developments in 1949 emphasizes the high hopes attached to the industry—and the ambitious goals of the new magazine.

Engineers desperately need an alternative to acid placement through pipe, coiled tubing, or bullheading. For example, propellants have been around for years; however, their performance has not quite met the hype. Nevertheless, several case histories have been authored to suggest their efficacy; historically, some treatments have even been wildly successful.

The first wells from the current North Sea development project are expected online in 2026.

This paper addresses the challenges of integrating huge amounts of data and developing model frameworks and systematic workflows to identify opportunities for production enhancement by choosing the best candidate wells.

The $48.5-billion investment aims to keep the 30-year-old project in western Kazakhstan flowing for years to come.

Dutch leaders have voted to halt all future production from the large gas field due to seismic activity linked to extraction operations.

The index integrates three independent components extracted from static and dynamic parameters: reservoir permeability thickness, movable gas, and reservoir pressure from a historically matched dynamic model.

Supervised learning was used to develop an ensemble of models that account for historical production data, geolocation parameters, and completion parameters to forecast production behavior of oil and gas wells.

The $6-billion Azeri Central East (ACE) platform is the first BP-operated offshore production facility controlled from onshore.

The new vessels bring QatarEnergy’s fleet to 104 as the company ramps up production with its North Field expansion.
