This study emphasizes the vital need to evaluate well conditions and working-fluid compatibility with coiled tubing materials to prolong coiled tubing operational life.

This paper describes the application of an underbalanced coiled tubing technology in tight sandstones, using an integrative approach that incorporates petrophysical, geophysical, and reservoir engineering data.

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.

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.

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.
