Generally, the analysis of huge volumes of data stored...

..., are normally not protected by continuous-dosing inhibitors and are therefore critical for the occurrence of the phenomenon. These critical points require removal operations when the accumulation of scale is significant to economically justify a treatment. To prevent the recurrence of scale in the short term...

... injectivity measurements, and final diagnostics. This novel, rigless approach reduced equipment footprint, operational time, and cost, and it improved production as compared with the conventional approach, despite accrued capital discipline constraints. Conventionally, operators rely on workover rigs...

... and accurately monitored, such that the corresponding cleaning procedures can be performed when necessary. Currently, the former operation is still dictated by best-practice rules pertaining to preventive or reactive approaches, yet the demand from the industry is for predictive solutions that can be deployed...

...Chidirim Ejim; Jinjiang Xiao; Woon Lee; Wilson Zabala Summary High-speed-rotor dynamic pump operation for downhole or surface production is required and also beneficial to handle very high gas volume fraction (GVF) flows. Operating speeds of these pumps can be in excess of twice those...

.... In a plant operation, where there are multiple softener and brine vessels, there is a need to optimize them as a system. Reliability, availability, and maintainability (RAM) models are used in Field C to (a) address equipment configuration optimization with impact on capital capacity expansion project scope...

... in a short period of time, making them a valuable tool. Leveraging their capabilities, engineers can perform various production analysis scenarios remotely using continuous data streaming to reduce and ultimately eliminate reliance on operators and vendors in remote fields. Nevertheless, such MPFMs require...

...G. S. Ramos; M. F. Pinto; E. S. S. de Souza; G. B. Machado; G. G. R. de Castro Summary As oil and gas exploration goes toward deeper fields in the Brazilian industry scenario, offloading operations emerge as the most viable option to drain production. However, these operations demand expensive...

... section, we give a brief introduction on CSS and the main issues encountered in the field operation. A multidirectional flow control nozzle specifically designed for CSS application will be presented. Design philosophy in thermodynamics and hydrodynamics of the nozzle will be discussed in detail. Field...

...H. Panjalizadeh; A. R. Safari; M. Kamani Summary Since its discovery in 1971, numerous matrix stimulations have been performed in South Pars field. However, there are still various challenges surrounding stimulation job design and evaluation methods. To tackle these issues, 16 matrix operations...

Such additional closing and opening events of the valves multiply situations in which the flow conditions are harmful...

... of this situation is depicted in Fig. 2 . In Fig. 2 , a vertical wellbore is shown for simplicity. We assume that the temperature of water injected at the surface is the same as the surface geothermal/ambient temperature. This situation is common in production operations where water is treated and stored...
