..., and by five (5) to ten (10) tonnes per stage in the Basal Quartz formations depending on the region. Finally, proppant tonnages were reduced by two-point-five (2.5) tonnes per stage in Regional Glauconite wells. Reducing proppant tonnages also reduced fluid loadings used in operations by approximately twenty...

... to provide virtual well instrumentation to operations that do not have permanent downhole sensors. It consists of the coupling of different numerical simulation software, allowing the calculation of Annulus Pressure Buildup (APB) for confined well annulus and also safety factors for structural integrity...

... In recent decades, a remarkable increase in induced seismicity in the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin (WCSB) has been largely attributed to the hydraulic fracturing (HF) operations in unconventional plays. However, a mitigation strategy concerning geological, geomechanical, and operational susceptibilities...

..., it helps to facilitate and standardize the assessment of integrated asset management effectiveness across operators. The ability to follow a plan, do, measure, and learn loop is key to good execution ensuring the delivery of an integrated surveillance program that permits the short-term production and long...

..., commonly used for unconventional fracturing, has poor transport capability, causes more proppant to settle near the wellbore area and can pose additional risks to proppant production. Proppant production could damage downhole and surface equipment, reduce well performance, and lead to workover operations...

Abstract Controlling bacteria in Oil & Gas operations is essential for flow assurance and avoiding unhealthy environments developing...

... that each function in a large oil & gas operator has evolved to a level of sophistication which has allowed developments and operations to be carried out successfully in different geographical areas. However, most players in large industrials, including not only oil & gas, but also aerospace...

... Abstract A closed-loop geothermal well design is presented which incorporates both wellbore configuration and completions components as well as a strategy for well operations which together achieve meaningful production of thermal energy. Planning and optimization of intermittent circulation...

Afterwards, production operations are resumed, and the scale is inhibited by the desorbed/retained scale inhibitor with the production fluids. Treatment Selection Factors The type of reservoir rock plays a significant role...

Usually there is a perception of reducing the fluid level over the pump intake (intake pressure) will maximizing well production and system overall...

... Abstract Open hole wireline logging, due to its lower overpull capacity relative to logging-while-drilling, is subject to increased stuck tool risk and can lead to costly fishing operations, lost-in-hole charges, and the need to sidetrack the borehole. The risk increases in higher overbalance...
