Well intervention
The authors challenge the traditional planning and execution of interventions, both from an operational and commercial standpoint, and examine where room exists for significant improvement in the industry
This paper describes how near-real-time tracer data from the onsite tracer analysis enabled the operator of the Nova field to interactively optimize two well cleanups.
Slickline-Deployed Fiber-Optic Cable Provides First Production Profile for High-Temperature Gas Well
This paper describes a case study in which, in the absence of a conventional production log, distributed fiber-optic sensing, in conjunction with shut-in temperature measurements, provided a viable method to derive inflow zonal distribution.
-
The proposed solution is a good candidate for real-time burner-efficiency monitoring and automatic alarm triggering and optimization.
-
The interpretation of well tests, combined with petrophysical analysis, formation-test data, and production logs, provided insight into Khuff reservoirs.
-
The paper investigates the effect of complex environments on DFIT interpretation and presents a systematic method to analyze the data.
-
Final lab testing has been completed and field trials of the ultrahigh expansion bridge plug will begin by the end of this year.
-
Through collaboration, innovative technologies, and digitization, the newly formed alliance hopes to transform conventional intervention operations with clear targets of propelling hydrocarbon production on new and existing assets on the Norwegian continental shelf.
-
Visuray is using its unique X-ray technology to improve downhole imaging.
-
A company is selling a new well testing tool designed to be a cheaper, simpler way to do fiber optic sensing, and then it fades away.
-
BP has seen enormous payoff from a program to intervene in underperforming subsea wells in the Gulf of Mexico.
-
The case history presented in the complete paper describes the performance of an acid-fracturing intervention in an HP/HT well in which this intervention was the last procedure considered to evaluate the productivity of a Marrat Formation well.
-
A coiled-tubing selective perforating and activation system that transmits critical downhole data and measurements in real time is enabling well interventions that previously could not have been executed.
