This is possibly the first application of ultrasonics in reducing environmental impact due to drilling activities. Several other potential applications of ultrasonics have been...

.... Introduction Over 2000 horizontal wells have been drilled for primary production in Alberta and Saskatchewan. A smaller number is used for thermal applications. Such applications utilize horizontal wells for production, injection, or both. Examples are: Tangleflags and Cold Lake, where horizontal wells...

The SCADA system remotely monitors the performance of some 75 natural gas wells scattered over an area of approximately 70 miles by 30 miles. A Gensym, G2 application has been developed to optimize the gas production from wells...
