Production

The principles behind unconventional wells lead to production profiles very different from conventional wells. High initial-production rates drop to much lower rates in a matter of months or a few years. How many in the US are currently considered low-production-rate wells?

TotalEnergies, Chevron and others abandon region citing worsening humanitarian situation.

The authors of this paper present a method for prediction of sucker-rod-pump failure based on improved, completely connected perceptron artificial neural networks.

There are powerful indicators that the transformation of energy markets is accelerating, even though the world should not decrease its focus on stable oil and gas supply. Our industry will continue to play a strong role in the coming decades to provide sustainable energy.

The paper assesses the feasibility of using a genetic-algorithm technique to optimize allocation of continuous gas lift injection rate in a network system of a Middle Eastern oil field.

What is the one thing you can do that will provide the greatest benefit to your artificial lift operations? For me, the answer to that question is simple: focus on surveillance. Surveillance is the foundation of any artificial lift optimization program. Effective surveillance practices allow you to keep track of how your system is performing against predefined targets…

The paper describes a project automating the progressing-cavity-pump well-modeling process wherein models are built and sustained automatically in a well-management system for all active PCP wells.

The US Energy Information Administration said the US, Qatar, and Russia fed well over half of Europe’s supply of LNG last year.

The acquisition adds well completions services for conventional and unconventional reservoirs.

Company will add Molykote lubricants, designed for oilfield use, to its slate of materials offerings.
