Unconventional/complex reservoirs
This paper aims to establish a set of best practices for generating particle-size-distribution data from core samples.
This paper discusses the successful execution of two openhole gravel-pack completions in two Gulf of Mexico fields with depleted reservoirs.
By integrating experimental and mathematical modeling approaches, this work aims to advance the understanding of sand-detachment dynamics and formation instability under varying saturation conditions.

Matthew Bryant has spent years trying to convince engineers that the API proppant testing standard has significant limitations. And he may well be right.
-
Losing drill-hungry independent and private companies in the region to robust M&A will mean an activity slowdown that is expected to impact volumes coming from the nation’s largest oil field.
