Well integrity/control
For more than a century, LSU has shaped petroleum engineering education, but few assets showcase its impact like the PERTT Lab. With six deep test wells and rare reservoir-depth gas-injection capabilities, the facility is helping drive breakthroughs in well control, carbon-dioxide injection, and next-generation energy technologies.
This study illustrates the new capabilities, tailored for carbon-dioxide storage applications, of a modeling framework that provides a quantitative, risk-based assessment of the long-term integrity of legacy plugged and abandoned wells.
This paper presents a novel application of artificial intelligence in computer vision for automating blowout-preventer pressure-chart-data extraction, demonstrating significant efficiency gains and a high return on investment.
