Well integrity/control

This paper presents a lost-circulation model used during design and job-evaluation phases to accurately predict top of cement and equivalent circulating densities.

To enable a fully interventionless approach, a barrier-rated tubing-hanger valve has been developed to eliminate slickline intervention and minimize associated risks and operational time.

This paper aims to present thoroughly the application of subsurface safety injection valves in extremely high-temperature environments.

This paper introduces a novel optimization framework to address CO2 injection strategies under geomechanical risks using a Fourier neural operator-based deep-learning model.

The technology, which uses Industrial Internet of Things components, aims to reduce the costs and improve the safety of drilling operations.

This paper investigates the effect of calcium oxide as an expansive agent on the performance of geopolymer-based sealing materials, with successful application in oil and gas wells at shallow depths.

The objective of this paper is to outline the importance of new standards for studying hydraulic sealability of barrier materials, with an emphasis on interface analysis.

Advancements in new technologies and rigorous testing methods have enabled the authors of the three SPE papers featured this year to outline a path forward, offering new possibilities that uphold the core objectives of safety and productivity.

The oil and gas industry must balance global energy demands with stricter environmental regulations, particularly in drilling, where risks and complexities are higher. Innovative technologies, like those used in this stuck-pipe scenario offshore Azerbaijan, are key to overcoming these challenges and improving safety, speed, and efficiency.

In this paper, a dynamic multiphase-flow simulator is used to evaluate the effectiveness and suitability of using a subsea capping stack to respond to a CO₂ well blowout.
