... Abstract Case studies of mill-out operations in the Permian Basin which evaluate chemical programs and processes used. Results show how existing processes and chemicals used or lack thereof, can affect equipment and undo the preventative chemical treatments used during the hydraulic fracturing...

... through the locale. Casing deformations during hydraulic fracturing have been observed in Southwest China Sichuan basin, and it have impeded completion operations in certain regions. In order to ensure further exploring, we analyszed this phenomenon and propose practical solutions for fault reactivation...

... Abstract Failures due to solid particles flowing with the production fluid is one of the main causes of interventions in wells with beam pumping systems. When this problem is accompanied with chemical deposition like scale, leads to a very common intervention during well operation. This paper...

... development, a wide spectrum of power tongs can accommodate the increasing interest in mechanized operations at the rig floor today. The importance of a torque-turn recording was stated in many papers as a good control method of the makeup process, especially for casing running applications. However, we...

... composition, allowing operators to shorten the learning curve within their fracturing operations, use the most appropriate fluid systems, and potentially mitigate job failures. Extensive testing has been conducted to evaluate friction reducer performance in the presence of different ionic components...

... Abstract Plug and Abandonment, P&A, operation is inevitable for each and every well. Most oil and gas wells are plugged at lowest cost possible complying with requirements set by regulatory agencies. Geopolymers can be used as an alternative material for P&A operations. Unlike many...

Results are displayed in real time including quantitative visualizations of the downhole rod pump operation, plunger motion, valve action and fluid flow. Pump intake and discharge pressures are computed and displayed...

.... In this paper a reservoir-performance based algorithm proposed by Ozkan et al. (2003) is applied to optimize the gas production and shut-in periods of plunger lift operation. The objective of the optimization is to maximize gas production with the condition that the liquid loaded during production can...

Abstract Reciprocating compressors are a vital element in the production of onshore natural gas and oil but there is no accepted method for configuring compressors consistently to optimize performance. Most configurations (setting the compressor’s allowable operating range, load and capacity...

... are both used to model rheologies of spacers. For most field operations, the Bingham plastic model is used to model rheologies; however, studies have shown that using this model can lead to over-predicting yield point. The GHB model is used to model non-Newtonian fluids by incorporating the possibility...
