... parameter. In these critical operations, the ECD is used to control the formation pressure and prevent kicks. The recent approaches in oilfield depend mainly on using expensive downhole sensors for providing real time values of ECD. These tools also have operational limits which may prevent using it in all...

... Abstract The influence imposed by drilling operations on the outcome of hydraulic fracturing has been well studied in terms of the post-frac stage productivity. Drilling induced formation damage caused by drilling fluids solids and filtration invasion is routinely linked to both the design...

...Introduction Abstract Well cementing is an important operation during drilling and completion of oil wells. The cement sheath must maintain well integrity behind the casing and provide long-term zonal isolation to ensure safety and prevent environmental problems. Some of the uses of cement...

... successfully in north Iraq. A special form of hydraulic lift is the jet pump. This technology has proved to be one of the best lift types for the operator in the region, with the unique concept of no moving parts inside the downhole pump, which has dramatically reduced downtime and the need to move a workover...

... Abstract With the proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) technology and IR4.0, digital information is becoming more integrated into our daily operations. Such a modality of operation allows all disciplines in an organization to collaboratively manage and operate their assets to achieve...

... Abstract The current oil and gas industry uncertainty encourages innovative, efficient, and simple drilling and workover solutions. Challenging and problematic formations cause various design complications and operational risk. These include lost circulation, well control incidents, high...

... Abstract Thermal operations are the most effective enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques used to increase hydrocarbon production, especially in heavy oil reservoirs. Thermal EOR involves injecting of steam or hot fluids into underground reservoirs to alter the physical properties, specifically...

... Our methodology combines a standardized workflow with advanced technologies for D&C data analysis. Both workflow and technologies are explained here: Workflow: Abstract During Drilling and Completion (D&C) operations large volumes of data are typically collected in oil and gas...

... in this paper to evaluate their effectiveness in removing the liquid banking and improving the gas production. Then, the effect of chemical treatment on altering the phase behavior for condensate reservoir was studied. To simulate the actual operations of condensate treatment; actual reservoir fluids were used...

... Abstract Both minimizing risks and providing adequate barriers are targets during cementing operations. This paper discusses key factors to consider during the design and execution of managed pressure cementing (MPC) operations in deep water. These factors are the result of important best...

... Prior to the operation a task force between all parties involved was formed to utilize non-metallic piping RTP during flow back operations. In light of this cooperation, a Specific Emergency Response Plan, Job Safety Analysis and Risk Assessment were created to assure the safety of operation...

... Abstract In downhole oilfield operations that involve pumping oil and water, information on mixture viscosity is important to further understand the performance of the downhole production equipment. This study presents a method for determining the effective absolute viscosity of oil-water...

... Abstract Linear core flooding experiments have been extensively conducted to develop a fundamental understanding of the interactions between the acid and rock and provide guidance to control and optimize matrix acidizing operations. These experimental studies are mostly performed at lower than...

... Abstract Cementing is an extremely important task in oil/gas well drilling operations to ensure integrity of the well, and to prevent gas and oil migration through the cement matrix for an extended period. This could lead to sustained pressure in the casing annulus (CCA). Sometimes, cements...

... The key users who are the drilling foremen and drilling engineers should be able to classify any operation by defining the drilled hole section size; operation category; major operation; activity; and also, respectively, selecting the responsible company and the used technology or tool used...

... on the formation compatibility and the CO2 quantities in hand. As a result, a new solution is proposed to overcome the fresh water scarcity especially with the expansion of gas fracturing operations in the kingdom. The need to find a sustainable cost effective alternative is crucial, such as Recycling Flowback...

... Abstract Establishing a Big Data Analytics environment for Drilling operations is impacted by many factors such as the nature of drilling operations that requires quick decision making and has a diversity of data sources. This paper goes over the process of building a Real-Time Big Data...
