Unconventional/complex reservoirs
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.
This paper discusses the successful execution of two openhole gravel-pack completions in two Gulf of Mexico fields with depleted reservoirs.

Casing deformations are common in the south-west shale regions of China and the Middle East, where the widespread use of 5.5-in., 26- and 26.8-lb/ft casing is the norm. In these regions, the majority of frac plugs are designed with an outer diameter (OD) of 4.055 in. or slightly larger, which frequently encounter restrictions resulting in the loss of bottomhole assemb…
