Well intervention
This paper aims to establish a set of best practices for generating particle-size-distribution data from core samples.
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.
As the pace of new discoveries slows and high-quality prospects become harder to find, oil companies may need to rely more heavily on mature fields to maintain production and support future supply.

This paper introduces an agentic artificial-intelligence framework designed for offshore production surveillance and intervention. -
A new tubing-conveyed tool combines wellbore cleanout with multi-tracer deployment for production diagnostics and reservoir monitoring.
-
A collaboration between a large independent and a technology developer used low-cost interventions to optimize production from unconventional wells.
-
The experience captured in this paper illustrates the potential of deepwater riserless wireline subsea intervention capability and the fact that it can be expanded beyond hydraulic-only, simple mechanical, and plugging-and-abandonment scopes.
-
This paper describes the use of coiled tubing in a pilot project for carbon dioxide injection, enabling evaluation of the conversion of an existing oil field for CCS purposes and derisking storage-development uncertainties before having to cease hydrocarbon production.
-
This paper describes the first riserless coiled tubing services operation performed in a live subsea well and the associated improvements in efficiency, cost savings, and safety.
-
This paper describes a case history in the UAE in which the cleanout of scale contaminated with naturally occurring radioactive material was conducted successfully.
-
Some offshore operators invest tens of millions annually in well interventions, while others spend nothing. What drives the difference remains a mystery.
-
Plugging operations are scheduled to begin early 2026.
