There are fifty-two wells (25 producers and 27 injectors) and this is the first time that bp has shut-in a field for so long at such scale. Many wells access...

...). 19 appraisal wells have been drilled. The oil viscosities are 67 cp (Maureen) to 508 cp (Heimdal) at reservoir conditions. Production start is in February 2017. The reservoir development is based on use of re-injected produced water. ESP pumps are used for artificial lift. In total 100 wells...

Due to inherent inaccuracy in allocating sand production to individual wells, wells were categorized as high, medium or low sand producers and various parameters such as hole inclination, azimuth, and UCS rock strength were considered to establish correlations between perforation...

When water injection was recently commenced in a well taking part of an existing line drive pattern, an immediate pressure and watercut response was observed in the adjacent producer. Attempts were made to mitigate the effect of the communication, but water...
