Reservoir

This paper describes a high-density high-pressure/high-temperature brine-based drilling fluid that provides long-term stability and solids-suspension properties for extended periods of time.

Understanding the injected-water preferential paths is a key aspect of waterflood optimization in reservoirs characterized by strong vertical and areal heterogeneities. Devising specific work flows for such applications is important.

This paper discusses a waterflood optimization system that provides monitoring and surveillance dashboards with artificial-intelligence and machine-learning components to generate and assess insights into waterflood operational efficiency.

A leaner and wiser Weatherford seeks new Middle East contracts while growing margins and market share on existing business.

Billionaire-founder boosts his original offer made in June to secure the deal.

The future of the heavy-oil business in Alaska looks more promising than ever after a 2-year pilot delivers technical and economic success.

The Permian Basin operator said the purchase translates to more than a decade of additional inventory.

In this first part of a two-part series, we look at how the artificial-lift sector has adapted to producing unconventional resources. The second part of the series to publish in November will crack open the lift toolbox to take a deeper look at the techniques and technologies under development or new to the market.

The paper presents successful field tests designed to decrease electrical-submersible-pump cooling rates by inducing controlled deadheads rather than shutting down the pumps.
