... Abstract The use of a semi-submersible drilling vessel in relatively shallow water (<100m) wells, can expose the wellhead, conductor and surface casing to significant wave-induced fatigue loading. A short length of drilling riser connecting the drilling vessel and the subsea well allows...

... Abstract Liquid load issue is commonly found in the gas condensate reservoir. In this regard we consider a novel workflow consisting: (i) CO 2 capture from fossil fueled power plants, (ii) inject the captured CO 2 into the well and (iii) investigate the effects of CO 2 injection in well...

... productivity. Three different types of proppant fracturing treatments were performed as a first-time application, including hybrid slickwater treatment, low-guar crosslinked treatment, and CO 2 foam fracturing. A hybrid design combining high-rate slickwater at the beginning and low-guar-loading crosslinked...

...&S) sides. In fact according to a study, some key principles of sustainability have actually been adopted in the E&P activities. Meanwhile, Front End Loading (FEL) is a structured approach to increase the predictability of the project outcomes by narrowing down the risks from all technical...

... these sands was adequate cleanup and minimal guar residue to maximize the proppant pack conductivity. The paper also discusses the strategy to design fluids with minimal guar loading to reduce polymer retention and to achieve maximum fracture fluid recovery. This robust management of fracturing fluids along...

... Abstract Guar gum and its derivatives based-gels crosslinked with boron have been utilized in hydraulic fracturing for decades. However, these gels have a noticeable limit-large polymer loading which causes problems including large quantity of residues and low regained permeability. Besides...

... Abstract Liquid loading of oil and gas wells occurs when the reservoir fails to deliver hydrocarbons to the surface due to accumulation of liquid in the well. In Oil reservoirs with gas cap and aquifer, liquid loading post shutdown revival of oil wells with high gas liquid ratio (GLR) is poorly...

... (methane and heavier components) at the end of a loading cycle. This mixture made of VOC, CO 2 and N 2 is normally vented directly into the atmosphere. The main component of the VOC is methane, which is a greenhouse gas with Global Warming Potential (GWP) 20 times higher than CO 2 . Routine flaring...

...Objective of Process Safety aspect in the Early Stage of Engineering (Frontend Loading) This paper has been prepared for those involved in the engineering design of NKJG project. It is not the intention of this document to provide a complete specification of the HSE and Process Safety design...

... Abstract Conventionally, most offshore hydraulic fracturing treatments have been performed with fluid systems using fresh water as the base fluid. Problems arise when the volume of fluid required for the treatment is more than the vessel carrying capacity or when freshwater loading time can...

.... They typically hydrate quickly after contact with the mix water resulting in instant slurry viscosification and potential mixing difficulties especially at higher loadings. Adding cement dispersants to the cementing system design can facilitate slurry mixing but this does not always work out as expected...

...). Increasing demand to extend the life of these platforms due to further oil/gas discoveries can result in the platform being subjected to higher loading due to required modifications/ upgrading and work-over demands for which the platform may not have been originally designed for. Furthermore, the need...

... Abstract Liquid loading is a serious problem in low-pressure gas wells. Liquid accumulation in gas wells with inadequate energy to lift the liquid from the wellbore can cause a well to die prematurely. Various technologies are available to prevent liquid loading in gas wells. They include gas...

... Abstract This work presents the analysis of a borehole instability case at 2km in a seal formation within the oil field environment. Field observations of severe borehole instabilities are given. The factors causing this instability are observed as being due to cyclic mud pressure loading...
