Unconventional/complex reservoirs
The $100-billion project is widely considered the largest unconventional development outside of the US and is noted by Aramco as the largest nonassociated gas development in the kingdom.
This paper presents a study of trapped-torque incidents during drillpipe connection, highlighting contributing factors and root causes and proposing prevention and mitigation measures for these transient events.
In this study, a method was developed to analyze the effects of drilling through transitions on bit-cutting structures and construct an ideal drilling strategy using a detailed drilling model.

This paper presents an automated calibration process, probabilistic infill well ranking, and location optimization for a major heavy oil field in Colombia with original oil in place of more than 5 million STB. -
The objective of this study is to conduct a comprehensive review of the latest technologies and work flows developed for heavy oil reservoir management.
-
The Calgary-based shale producer said the deal involves at least 600 new well locations that will keep it drilling for the next 20 years.
-
The acquisition will enable Energy Transfer to send more barrels of Permian crude to oil hub at Cushing, Oklahoma.
-
From refracturing old wells to ones that don’t have to be fractured at all, notable producers argue that experiments are paying off.
-
The authors of this paper present results of a study that examined formation-damage mechanisms caused by drilling fluids in tight reservoirs in onshore oil fields in Abu Dhabi.
-
The authors of this paper discuss a biosurfactant treatment that offers an economical method for remediation of formation damage caused by high-molecular-weight paraffin wax deposition in porous media.
-
The UK company will purchase oil producing acreage across the northern part of the south Texas Eagle Ford shale play.
-
Rate transient analysis has been challenged in every sense of the word when it comes to tight reservoirs. An ongoing joint industry project aims to turn that around.
-
The authors of this paper introduce a physics-based method for explicit pore-pressure prediction in naturally fractured shale petroleum reservoirs.
