The paper cites that technologies are available to prevent the surface production of water, as well as the subsequent treatment and disposal of water, which can be an expensive process. Water production, a common factor in most wells, can make or break a project's performance ùby reducing the flow rate...
The paper points out that the detection of the subsurface characteristics and distribution of fractures is critical to petroleum reservoir profitability. Cost-effective data can be gathered that enables predictive models to maximize production from fractured reservoirs. It also adds that the natural fractures have influenced reservoir performance in the fine-grained...
The paper points put that in the proper reservoir application, horizontal wells yield higher production rates and recovery than vertical wells, yielding attractive economics even though cost may be twice that of vertical wells. Numerous technology advances continue to improve horizontal well performance and broaden application. Among those, under balanced...
The paper mentions that the information presented during the workshop provided attendees with the opportunity to refresh their knowledge of basic artificial lift concepts, while exposing them to new developments with the several different types of lift systems (beam pumps, electric submersible pumps, progressing cavity pumps, long-stroke pumps). A central...
The paper mentions that a periodic review of reservoir production practices and performance data, coupled with maintaining an awareness of newly developing technologies and techniques, is a good recipe for reservoir management success. Through production optimization methods, costs can be reduced and output increased. It adds that with the prevailing...
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...
IN THE coming years, India and China again will become increasingly important players in the Middle East. The United States will have to accept that its "unipolar moment" in the Middle East is transitory. Today the United States has satisfactory relations with China, and there is much...
