... To guide perforating operations for these conditions, an experimental test program was conducted to determine the performance of 7.0-g HMX shaped charges as a function of well temperature from 360 to 440°F. A novel two-step heating ramp was used to "thermally equate" perforating gun tests...

... Abstract The performance of water injection wells in deep, warm reservoirs is usually dominated by thermally enhanced fracturing of the formation. Modern pressure and rate monitoring data for these injection wells allows the fracturing performance of the wells to be observed on a continuous...

... wells are dedicated to passive microseismic monitoring using downhole geophones. Producers throughout the pilot area will be routinely sampled for changes in gas, oil and water compositions as well as for temperature changes that indicate thermal influence. Steam injection began on December 28, 1998...

... Introduction In a preceding paper we described some chemical properties of Peace River tars, i.e., solvation properties of asphaltenes and their reflection of the thermal history of the tar in the reservoir. It was suggested that the thermal alteration observed in tar samples produced during...
