... Abstract Curing severe to total lost circulation in naturally fractured/vugular formations has always been challenging, especially across the Middle East. In these environments, conventional particulate lost circulation materials (LCMs) are seldom effective due to the uncertainty on the sizes...

... returning to the surface. A sacrificial fluid instead of drilling mud is used to clean the hole and transport the cuttings into the loss formation. This study presents a detailed step-by-step model and design for a well in the Middle East. New equations were developed to calculate the MC height, MC density...

... proper installations. The collected signatures were then used to train the binary classification network. The first field trial was performed on a modular compact wellhead system in collaboration with an operator in the Middle East. The digital position sensing solution performed robustly in the field...

... discusses the production results and flow assurance observed from long-term production results from field trials performed in the Middle East. The optimized asphaltene solvent was designed and evaluated by dissolution, wettability and stability tests, and its results were benchmarked against actual xylene...

... Abstract High permeability zone (HPZ) formed by sedimentation and diagenesis has been founded in numerous oil fields in Middle East. Meanwhile, horizontal well have been applied universally in these oil fields. To obtain wellbore status and reservoir properties, pressure transient analysis (PTA...

... Abstract With rising energy demand, operators in the Middle East are now focusing on developing unconventional resources. To optimize hydraulic fracture stimulation, most of these deep gas wells are required to be drilled laterally and in the direction of the minimum horizontal stress. However...
