... and deciding on the direction of the wells when it comes to horizontal drilling. Abstract Several innovative techniques and practices have been recently implemented to improve well production performance in offshore assets in the Arabian Gulf. The challenges which followed past practices were identified...

... production in the producer fields of the South Region of PEMEX E&P, well management practices have been designed and implemented since the first semester of 2005. The strong drop of oil and gas production observed in the early 80s as shown in Fig. 2 is due to natural decline and water invasion...

...) looked at the technical and business opportunities for two main re-development components. The first component aims to beat the natural production decline curve via the implementation of a massive infill drilling program; the second component aims to maintain production through the integration...

... of gas. This paper presents the applied methodology and the results obtained from a project based on well management to optimize the recovery of hydrocarbons of the identified opportunities within these business units with minimum investments. The successful implementation of this project was based...

..., more so, if throughout the long lives of the fields nearly all conventional optimization strategies have already been attempted and implemented. The re-development project presented in this and its companion paper 1 (SPE 104041) looked at the technical and business opportunities for two main re...

... Abstract The successful design and implementation of any improved oil recovery project in a fractured reservoir depends on an accurate characterization of the fracture system. This is especially true in a steam pilot project currently underway in the Yates Field of West Texas. This pilot...
