... as a function of cumulative production, which can help to save oil and gas industry hundreds of millions of dollars per year. Our application uses a dataset that tracks survival status and corresponding cumulative productions for more than 300 completions in GOM. Field data covering water cut, flowing pressure...

... several water-control completion strategies have been trialed (ICD/AICD) due to the presence of an infinite-acting, strong aquifer drive. Although some positive results had been observed in the field, none of these technologies have been able to provide effective water control in the sections with water...

... Abstract The novel dual electric submersible pump (ESP) completion was designed to maximize oil recovery by improving waterflooding efficiencies while minimizing capital expenditures (capex) and surface facilities. The design enables the operator to produce oil and formation water from the same...

... Abstract Proppant selection is an important aspect of hydraulic fracture completion design. Recently, the industry has moved toward the use of lower cost regional sand as the propping agent for multi-fractured horizontal well completions in the Permian Basin Wolfcamp. An evaluation of early...

... and fracturing was mostly performed based on a single-domain perspective or purely based on geoscience data sets. On the other hand, this paper proposes an unconventional multi-domain integration for shale oil and shale gas development for successful drilling and completions. In heterogeneous formations where...

... Abstract This study reviewed the formation failure analysis of horizontal wells completed with both cemented and uncemented multistage fracturing sleeves to evaluate the risk of sand production and formation failure in a sandstone and mudstone interbedded reservoir. Consequently, the effects...

... Recent advances in OHGP completion technology demonstrated a high success rate using shunted screens and gravel pack with a viscous carrier fluid ( Powers, 2006 ) ( Hecker, 2004 ) ( Peña, 2013 ). Shell T&T adopted a similar approach in 2018 Starfish (SID) and Dolphin (DEC-3) campaigns...

... is regained, the return rate will increase again and reach the pump rate (Point D) assuming no fluid is being lost to the formation. Figure 3 Example of a Surface Plot from OHGP pumped without Positive Surface Pressure Abstract Shunt tube deployed Open Hole Gravel Pack (OHGP) completions have...

... Abstract Over the past decade, commercially available inflow tracers have been increasingly used to permanently monitor lower completions without the need for intervention. They have been designed to release selectively to oil or water, typically for clean-up verification, inflow quantification...

...-based approach to predict sand production for various reservoir and completion types, explored through a case study of recent production wells in a sandstone reservoir development. Sand control may be executed through a variety of methods, for example at the reservoir-completion interface using a sand...

... Abstract A reliable single-trip openhole multizone completion can significantly lower capital expenditure (CAPEX) by reducing rig time and well count. Recent improvements in openhole packers and enhanced shunt screen technology have enabled multizone openhole gravel pack completions...

... spanning geology, drilling, completions, production and reservoir. Completion year has one of the highest feature importance, indicating the improvement of operation and design efficiency and the fluctuation of service cost. Moreover, lateral rate of penetration (ROP) was always amongst the top two...

... drain reserves from two previously distinct producing intervals. The target intervals in this study were separated by a boundary layer composed of interbedded anhydrite, siltstone, and dolomite layers. Wells were completed in sequence using cemented ball-drop fracturing, and high-viscosity friction...

... completed with a total of 10 fracturing operations. Multistage fracturing completions consisted of shifting sleeves for the fracturing stages and separate ports with screens for the production stage to control formation and proppant flowback. This completion enabled selective fracture cleanout, which...

... Abstract Completion diagnostics have been extensively utilized in hydraulically fractured horizontal wells across all major basins to determine the effectiveness of stimulation strategies and to evaluate new technologies. They have also been key in understanding factors that drive well...
