... Abstract Sixteen (16) years of Haynesville Shale development activity has been analyzed. Type curves (production normalized to year zero) were created to understand well performance for various areas, operators and time periods. Changes in well design and production performance trends each year...

It provides technical guidance for unconventional oil and gas developments in North America and is a useful reference for similar projects globally, including in China. geologist unconventional play drilling operation shale gas unconventional resource economics directional...

... commands from surface or operating autonomously in response to a change in a well’s flowing conditions. Most variants were deployed via slickline intervention with the option to retrieve later in the well life. The intelligent safety valve is a fully autonomous system, API14A qualified, device that enables...

... ordered a major operator to pay $120 million in fines related to the overstatement of 3.9 billion net barrels of oil equivalent (BOE) of proved reserves ( Hadley 2010 ). Olsen et al. (2011) provide a history of pre-2009-based court cases, comment letters, and public disclosures regarding what many...

... Abstract This paper presents a novel advancement in the microseismic data processing workflow for monitoring thermal operations at an unconventional bitumen reservoir in Cold Lake, Alberta, Canada. The new enhancement to the monitoring workflow enables fast processing of the microseismic data...

... results with human factors at its core. Drawing from existing literature and an analysis of over 100 negative tests conducted by the operator, seven key principles are established. These principles serve as a unified framework for interpreting negative test results and provide the much-needed detail...

... Abstract An unconventional resources operator is more likely to achieve a higher value from an unconventional field development campaign by establishing a collaborative work relationship with the lead drilling rig contractor at the outset of the early planning stages. This paper discusses...

... Abstract In the fast-paced and precision-driven environment of well construction operations, efficient decision-making is paramount. This paper introduces an advanced artificial intelligence (AI) model leveraging Large Language Models (LLM) to classify log records and complex WITSML data...

... Abstract Natural gas-driven pneumatic controllers used in onshore oil and gas operations account for approximately 43% of all production-related methane emissions in the U.S., primarily due to their deployment in remote areas without access to electric grids. These controllers, essential...

... technical feasibility study was carried out by a multidisciplinary team of domain experts using a transient-state, multiphase fluid flow simulator to integrate reservoir performance, fluid dynamics, completion architecture, and ESP operation into one holistic, robust model to analyze various production...

... in 2018 PRMS. However, post-pandemic trends show operators drilled shorter lateral length wells and applied less proppant for better profitability, which is contrary to previous aggressive stimulation strategy. This study analyzed over 10,000 Permian Basin shale wells from 80+ anonymous operators during...

... credence. In spite of these largely positive results the use of microproppant has not been widely adopted in organic shale completions. In the case of one major operator that did several trials and published positive results they have cut back their microproppant use due to the high cost of the currently...

.... These conditions replicate anticipated downhole conditions for an operator in Southeast Asia. Sub-Zero Temperature Testing Abstract Carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology has emerged as a pivotal strategy in mitigating greenhouse gas emissions and combatting climate change.

... can be reduced up to 7%. NOx can be reduced up to 80%. In either scenario, the advanced electronics and automation that underpin hybrid microgrids allow companies to automatically add or remove engines to match demand and reduce engine runtime hours by up to 25%, further enhancing operational...

... Abstract While conducting a wells campaign in North Brazil, the Operator suffered from significant non-productive time in the 8 ½-in deviated intermediate hole section, caused by BHA component failures while drilling hard diabase rock layers. Based on this outcome, an integrated Wells...

... Abstract A key component of managing the risk of directional drilling operations is estimating how closely a well plan can be drilled. Previous work ( Willerth & McGregor, 2024 ) provides a theoretical framework for assessing potential deviation from plan for collision avoidance, however...

... Abstract In today's rapidly evolving industrial landscape, enhanced reality technology stands at the forefront of revolutionizing how operators perform their tasks. Enhanced reality encompasses augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and mixed reality (MR), blending the physical...
