Unconventional/complex reservoirs
The UAE project is expected to produce up to 345 MMscf/D by 2029, with expansion potential to 1 Bcf/D.
This study investigates the potential for in-situ hydrogen generation from hydrocarbons using in-situ combustion, with particular emphasis on the role of kerogen content and heating mode.
This paper presents the application of degradable particulate-diverter technology to improve oil production by effectively diverting stimulation treatment fluids away from high-water-cut, high-permeability, high-temperature producing intervals or zones.
-
This paper describes how a better understanding of the connection between the well and the reservoir through use of fiber-optic sensors can improve reservoir simulation models, decision-making, and well-performance evaluation. -
In this study, the application of electrical resistance heating on multilateral wells is studied to illustrate the enhanced physical and economic benefits of the method.
-
The combined company will control almost 1 million acres in the Williston Basin and daily production over 165,000 BOE/D.
-
The authors discuss a production strategy in which high-gas/oil-ratio crude can be injected into the upper oil reservoirs with partial pressure depletion to achieve production enhancement and synergy among reservoirs.
-
The paper provides information to engineers for selecting high-viscosity friction reducers and describes a methodology for evaluating damage potential and proppant transport.
-
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?
-
The authors describe the benefits of a single-phase retarded inorganic acid system, which they write features the same benefits as emulsified acids while eliminating the drawbacks of the latter.
-
The paper presents the challenges faced and overcome while drilling and testing a high-pressure/high-temperature sour-gas well offshore in an environmentally sensitive environment.
-
This paper presents a novel sandstone-stimulation technique using thermochemical fluids.
-
This paper presents a well-integrity-management system developed for a high-pressure/high-temperature gas field in southwest China.
