- Case Study of An Upper Devonian Sandstone Oil Reservoir
- This case study is of an old oilfield in West Virginia which reinforces the need for multidisciplinary reservoir characterization to solve well performance problems so that maximum reserves can be produced from declining domestic fields. Reservoir characterization may also help identify areas within these oil fields where undiscovered oil may...

- Coalbed Methane Resources in the Southeast
- The paper mentions that Louisiana coalbed methane CBM development has lagged activity in other U.S. basins. This is partly due to the relatively undeveloped coal industry in the region, lack of exploration of the potential coalbeds, and a lack of understanding of the criteria necessary for CBM development. The United...

- 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,...

- Understanding the Trenton-Black River Reservoir
- The paper mentions that a Trenton-Black River exploration model, offered by Taury Smith of New York State Museum, has evolved. First, look for appropriate tectonic settings: basement-rooted intra-platform wrench faults and fault intersections, fault-controlled margins, and the first carbonates deposited on newly-rifted/heavily-faulted continental basement. The Trenton-Black River Play remains an...

- Horizontal Drilling, A Technology Update for the Appalachian Basin
- The paper informs that horizontal drilling is being applied in many environments, including coalbed methane. One special process, CDX Gas LLC's pinnate drilling process, is being applied in coalbed methane projects in the Appalachian and some western coal basins. It is best suited for thick, low permeability coals with good...

- Michigan Field Experiences, Focus on the Niagaran
- The paper states that independents that are now the operators in the mature Michigan Basin are profitably employing technologies such as horizontal wells, 3-D seismic, other 3-D visualization tools, production logging, CO2 flooding, and under balanced drilling to name a few. Sharing and learning from each other in workshops having...

- 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...

- Cromwell Play in Southeastern Oklahoma
- The paper points out that a key to understanding the Cromwell is the updated stratigraphic interpretation and nomenclature presented in the workshop. Correlation of the subsurface Cromwell sandstone to surface rocks defined as Morrow has aided construction of regional cross sections that assist in delineating the Cromwell play. This study...

- AVO Seismic Technology
- The paper mentions the amplitude variations with offset AVO technology was introduced over 20 years ago. In the intervening years, the technique has evolved from a concept to a primary component of seismic exploration. AVO methods can add reliable constraints to quantitative reservoir characterization if the operator understands the underlying...

- Managing Upstream Oil & Gas Producing Assets
- The paper point out that upstream oil and gas assets must be managed using an integrated, cradle-to-grave plan to optimize efficiency and maximize profits. The life of a field must be guided by a clearly defined scope of work, a detailed project execution plan capable of handling all contingencies, and...

- Applied Geology for the Petroleum Engineer
- The paper mentions that compartmentalization within sandstone reservoirs is chiefly related to several scales of geological complexity. The most important scales include those determined by the depositional setting and the resultant facies architecture, mud content and shale distribution, and grain size trends. Porosity and permeability are often correlated with grain...

- Mesaverde Group Reservoirs -Field Trip and Workshop
- The paper brings up that the Mesaverde Group contains significant remaining natural gas in the San Juan Basin. Sophisticated geological models are necessary to predict infill locations based on depositional facies. Less sophisticated models ignore stratigraphic complexities, reservoir facies frequency and scale-dependent attributes that are critical to understanding the reservoir...

- Trouble-Shooting Rod-Pumped Wells
- The paper cites that failure and operating cost reduction begins with an understanding of the basicsù equipment, terminology, and sound design principles. Several software packages exist to aid in lift system design. Common failure mechanisms for different components (pumping units, rods, pumps) are known, as are accepted equipment and operating...

- Reading the Rocks From Wireline Logs
- The paper states that the science of wireline logging began in 1927, and continues to progress in the scope of equipment, greater depths achieved, higher resolution and improved steering capabilities. The information necessary for modern operators to plan, use and interpret wireline logs has become a complex development requiring specialists...

- Improving Oil Recovery Using Integrated Evaluation Techniques
- The paper states that the Kansas Geological Survey has developed new technologies and strategies to improve oil recovery from Kansas's oil fields. The focus has been to provide increased access to public data through online digital programs, development of software to evaluate electric logs, improved reservoir characterization, modeling and computer...

- Coalbed Methane Production in the Midcontinent?A New Frontier
- Pennsylvanian-age bituminous coal deposits in eastern Kansas offer the best potential for exploration and development of coalbed methane resources in Kansas. Deep deposits of the Cherokee Group have the most exploitable coal seams. The federal tax credit for development of coalbed methane as an unconventional gas source has motivated development...

- 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....

- The Lewis Shale, San Juan Basin: Approaches to Rocky Mountain Tight Shale Gas Plays
- The paper mentions that as production from conventional reservoirs in the continental U.S. is decreasing, gas from the Lewis and similar unconventional reservoirs will become increasingly important for future gas supply. Significant Lewis Shale gas reserves may be commercially accessible in old and new wells within the San Juan Basin....

- Electronic Resources for NM Oil and Gas Data
- The paper states that GO-TECH, the Gas and Oil Technology Exchange and Communication Highway, was founded in 1994 as a free access website to New Mexico oil and gas production information. The User Guide for Electronic Resources and the accompanying CD ROM database provides valuable information to New Mexico independent...
