... that operations will be conducted safely, rig-time efficiency will be maximized, and the overall well test objectives will be met, several critical well testing decisions must be made. This paper describes the value of real-time access to reservoir information and tools to control well testing operations. Also...

... motor: high efficiency (90 94%) vs. induction motors up to 86%; smaller size and weight; wider ranges of rotation frequency regulation (100-1000, 1000-4200 and 3000-6000 r.p.m.); reduced energy consumption and rating of surface equipment (Power Saving); stable torque over wide operation range; Power...

... plugging efficiency was probed on a Permeability Plugging Apparatus (PPA) using a tapered slot. The plugging performance of the LCM in the AF was significantly better than in the NAF for the same combination of LCM. This difference in plugging performance was attributed to the noticeable difference in N 1...

... Abstract Miscible gas injection in near critical oil or volatile oil reservoir improves the recovery due to interfacial tension effects and better microscopic displacement efficiency compared to immiscible water injection. In a graded undersaturated gas-oil fluid system, all fluids...

... and improve the sweep efficiency. Currently the field is mature and most of wells are producing with high water cut. Kareem reservoir is heterogeneous and there is a high permeability variation between different layers and most of the injected water goes to high permeable layers. BrightWater ™ 1...

To solve the problem and improve drilling performance in areas of limited/inaccurate offset data, engineers have developed a Mechanical Efficiency Ratio optimization system (MER) that accurately measures the BHA's use of available energy. The modeling tool was tested in several...

... Abstract The value of the mechanical specific energy (MSE) concept to analyze drilling efficiency and bit performance is well established. Recent operator-driven research has concentrated on predicting and maximizing rate of penetration (ROP). The specific energy ROP model has been successfully...
