This paper documents the testing, integration, and field deployment of a metal expandable packer used as an openhole toe isolation plug in a deepwater well under high-pressure, high-temperature conditions.
This paper aims to establish a set of best practices for generating particle-size-distribution data from core samples.
Unlike traditional AI approaches that rely primarily on historical data, physics-based AI integrates physical laws, engineering expertise, and operational constraints directly into the learning process. Three recent SPE papers illustrate how this paradigm is transforming the industry through intelligent condition monitoring, virtual sensing, and autonomous production …

A novel PCP configuration was developed from phased design trials and experience in cold heavy-oil production with sand (CHOPS) wells. This configuration uses a modified rotor to create alternating sections of contact and noncontact within a conventional stator. -
Last year, events accelerated several trends in the energy landscape. Oil and gas prices have remained low, and the industry is focusing more strongly on reducing costs and increasing operational efficiency. Implementing innovative technologies that increase recovery requires a small investment but can bring large rewards.

The proposed solution is a good candidate for real-time burner-efficiency monitoring and automatic alarm triggering and optimization.
-
The interpretation of well tests, combined with petrophysical analysis, formation-test data, and production logs, provided insight into Khuff reservoirs.

The average geothermal gradient in the subject deepwater field in Nigeria is 4.37°C/100 m, nearly twice the gradient in most fields. As a result, the magnitude of the expected annular pressure buildup (APB) during steady-state production is large enough to threaten well integrity.
