- Leveraging resources should benefit independent producers
- Partnerships and alliances are an increasingly important part of how the U.S. petroleum industry operates. While the general public certainly can see this with the recent spate of mergers among major producers, such actions are common with independents. Because collaborations can be an efficient means to leverage limited resources, they...

- The search for upstream technology solutions - Statistical Data Included
- The upstream oil and gas business has become more adept at leveraging technologies developed or applied in other industries and adapting them to meet critical exploration and production needs. One successful example of this ability is the Natural Gas and Oil Technology Partnership NGOTP that operates under the U.S. Department...

- Addressing the margin while preparing for tomorrow
- By the time this is published, the Petroleum Technology Transfer Council PTTC will have organized nearly 20 survival-oriented workshops around the country since its Industry Crisis Action Plan was launched in December. Operators attending these workshops are aware that no magical technology solutions exist for today's crisis. But they have...

- Independents fighting for survival
- Perhaps more than any other group, U.S. independent oil and natural gas producers are taking the brunt of the oil price collapse. While the major companies can--to a certain extent--fall back on other aspects of their businesses, or pursue diversification or mergers, most independents do not have the same options....

- Predicting Waterflood Recovery Performance
- The paper states that for waterfloods, an ongoing prediction and surveillance program can determine ultimate recovery and improve timing of events, such as initial water breakthrough and peak production. This helps maximize oil recovery at the lowest water-oil ratio and operating cost level. Waterflooding is the most successful and widely...

- Polymer and Polymer-Gel Water Shutoff Treatments, What It Takes to Be Successful and Illustrative Field Application
- The paper cites that polymer-gel water-shutoff WSO treatments are highly reservoir-, well- and problem-specific. In order to successfully apply a polymer-gel WSO treatment, the underlying problem must be correctly identified or deduced and be amenable to polymer-gel WSO treatments. Then an appropriate polymer-gel system must be properly selected, sized and...

- Hydraulic Fracturing Measurement, Characterization and Analysis
- The paper cites that understanding the reservoir, its basic rock properties and how they affect fracturing, is a prerequisite for optimizing hydraulic fracturing treatments. Choosing the proper fracturing fluid, proppant, proppant load, and additives are important. Achieving and maintaining fracture conductivity is essential. Modeling, recognizing the underlying theory and limitations,...

- California Water Control Study
- The paper mentions that produced water management has been a focus for PTTC. In the Midcontinent area, PTTC developed a concise manual outlining the causes and solutions for excess water production, plus operating practices to reduce costs. In California, staff is working alongside producers in a consortium effort. Operators are...

- Understanding Paraffin and Asphaltene Problems in Oil and Gas Wells
- The paper mentions that although often mentioned together, paraffin and asphaltene are distinctly different in their composition, their behavior and the conditions that lead to deposition. Controlling paraffin and asphaltene problems requires one to understand the conditions that lead to deposition and the different solutions and when each is appropriate....
