... including TOC content, porosity, gas saturation and brittle mineral content for these prolific wells were analyzed. The length of the well laterals drilling into the sweetest pay zone was characterized by well logging. The strategies of optimizing drilling and completion strategies used in these wells...

... Abstract The aim of this paper is to compare the performance of three horizontal infill wells in a mature field, of which one is completed with autonomous inflow control devices (AICDs). The analytic results are based on the comparison of oil production rates; water cut development and water...

... was determined. The first well was drilled vertically and completed barefoot, leaving 381m of 9 7/8in. × 8 ½in. open hole below the 10 ¾in. × 7 5/8in. production liner. After turning the well to fresh water, the stimulation programme was undertaken. A total of 11'570m 3 of fresh water was injected ( Häring...

... Abstract Using planar fracture models to match treatment pressure and improve understanding of the fracture geometry generation is not a new concept. Knowledge gained from this exercise has historically been used to improve engineered fracture completions and production, and maximize net...

Originally, the project plan comprised of two development wells, each accessing separate chalk gas reservoirs - Ekofisk and Tor which were approved by the UK Oil and Gas Authority...

... that is bound in the north by a regional overthrust fault and stratigraphically pinches out to the west by erosion and facies compaction to the south. Abstract This paper identifies restimulation opportunities in existing multistage completed horizontal wells with plans for a customized refracturing...

... Abstract Plug and Perf (PnP) has been predominant for years as the preferred completion method for unconventional reservoirs. However this technique can be costly and time consuming. The Coiled Tubing Activated Frac Sleeves (CTAFS) technique utilizes fracture sleeves that can be hydraulically...

... completion as well as proper execution of the stimulation treatment have strong influence on the final results and huge impact on the well productivity. This technical review of MSF jobs has made it possible to achieve a deeper understanding of the key factors controlling the outcome of the jobs...

... pressure and temperature interpretation methodology has been successfully applied to wells in Golden Eagle, a recently developed North Sea field. Their unique, intelligent completion combines several forms of sandface, in-flow control together with a range of state-of-the-art, permanent, in-well, high...

... Abstract Inflow Control Devices (ICDs) modify the inflow profile of a multi-zone well completion. Their imposition of an extra pressure drop at the sandface has proven to be particularly effective at delaying the breakthrough of (unwanted) water or gas in wells with long completion lengths...

... Well A is completed with a slotted liner completion and Well B is completed with three sections of standalone screens, both placed in a horizontal open hole. This type of globally common configuration represents a significant challenge during interventions and in the ability to isolate sections...

... Abstract The optimal design of Advanced Well Completions (AWCs) is an important step in field development planning nowadays. However, determination of optimum design of (Autonomous) Inflow Control Devices [(A)ICDs] and their integration with Annular Flow Isolations (AFIs) in an advanced well...

... Abstract Early in the development of a shale gas resource, optimal well spacing remains unknown as wells are sparsely drilled to hold leases by production. Developing the acreage requires operators to select locations, specify drilling plans, and design completions for multi-stage horizontal...

... Abstract To maximize well productivity and reservoir oil recovery in mature fields, advanced lateral designs with intelligent completions have been implemented during the last decade. The technology has been broadly applied, but how to effectively include its impact in reservoir well modeling...
