... revealed the exact geological structures with folds, faults, and natural fractures. Then the study turned to 3D high-resolution geological and geomechanics modeling to identify the sweet spots and high drilling and completion risks areas. With the deep G&G understanding, the well drilling...

... and normalized ways to demonstrate the trends in different US basins. Operators made significant improvement in production by changing parameters in the fracturing and completion design strategy, including, but not limited to, the amount of water used, the amount of sand pumped, stage spacing, maximum sand...

... reservoirs with large hydraulic fracture treatments has unveiled challenges related not only to the completion of a single well but also to interference with its surrounding neighbors. Interference can be caused by fracture hits while completing the well, competition for drainage area during production...

... to search for additional improvements to keep on developing these fields. Vaca Muerta Oil and gas potential with big pay thickness requires the review of completion efficiency and its incidence on initial hydrocarbons production in order to improve the project cash flow. The analysis should be focused...

... an unpredicted shutdown of the gas-lift compression system, and when the producing water cut becomes higher than expected. An operator in Logan County, Oklahoma, installed the gas lift-jet pump hybrid completion in five wells. The completion was basically designed for gas lift with a standard "X" profile SSD...
