Abstract This paper describes the studies which have been completed to evaluate the oil recovery benefits of a carbon dioxide miscible flood of the Judy Creek Beaverhill Lake ""A"" Pool in Northern Alberta. Subject to all the necessary regulatory approvals, the flood is planned to commence in 1982 ...
Abstract An environmental effects study was undertaken to assess the potential environmental effect of discharged produced formation water from offshore oil and gas platforms in Bass Strait. The focus was on potential effects on the fisheries of Bass Strait. Produced formation water discharged to the ...
Abstract OPTI Canada Inc./Nexen Canada Ltd. (OPTI/Nexen) developed a constraints map for their proposed Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) project near Anzac,Alberta. Constraints mapping is a graphical representation of the suitability of a land area for construction purposes. The objective of ...
SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION Canada's east coast play is worthy of the investor's consideration, as it still affords him the opportunity of participating at a relatively early stage in the area's exploration history. All multi-billion dollar world energy projects contain many inherent uncertainties ...
Abstract Gas production from Alberta's Leduc-age reservoirs, which originally containedmore than 400 Gm3 OGIP, has and will continue to be significant.Estimating recoveries from these bottom-water driven pools has been difficult..Recoverable reserves are dependent upon both the trapped gas saturation ...
Summary. This case history describes relief-well planning and execution for a deep, underground blowout. Key achievements include an innovative relief-well strategy, locating and tracking the target casing with electromagnetic ranging and conventional surveying techniques, and integrating kill pumping ...
Abstract This paper describes an electromagnetic method to facilitate drilling a well to intersect a target well casing. It has an important application in control of blown out oil and gas wells. By this method, a relief well was directionally drilled to intersect the casing of a blowout at 8,000 ft ...
Distinguished Author Series articles are general, descriptive representations that summarize the state of the art in an area of technology by describing recent developments for readers who are not specialists in the topics discussed. Written by individuals recognized to be experts in the area, these ...
Abstract It's a difficult problem all the time to shape and enlarge the hole diameter of casing damage well with a small diameter in the workover job of casing damage well. In the light of the condition of increasingly serious casing damage in Xingbei Oilfield, six kinds of composite drilling ...
Overview Every day in the oil and gas industry, cutting-edge technology is driven—sometimes inch by inch and occasionally in great leaps forward. Commitments are taken to make the seemingly impossible, possible, to provide solutions to the challenges of tomorrow. Advanced technology is used, not for ...
Summary A new liquid thickening agent has been developed for controlling fluid loss of clear brines. This control is of critical concern during the completion or workover of an oil, gas, or service well. Many clear brines are expensive (up to $800/bbl for some concentrations). The loss of these fluids ...
Summary This paper discusses current water quality assessment methods and some of the parameters that can affect the suitability of North Sea water as an injection fluid. Also included are general comments on the North Sea and its biomass. Examples are drawn from tests carried out during the commissioning ...
Summary. Recently developed horizontal-drilling techniques have been applied in the Spraberry trend area in Midland County, TX. The desired application includes drilling horizontally at a right angle to the naturally occurring vertical fractures in one of three Spraberry zones. The result was 1,180 ...
Summary Mercury has been known to be a trace contaminant in natural gas and condensate produced from Unocal Thailand's operations in the Gulf of Thailand since 1985. It has been detected in well streams, produced formation water, and also in solid waste. Mercury is recovered from process vessels, ...
Summary An oil field in central Saudi Arabia produces super-light crude from a sandstone reservoir. The formation contains up to 7.0 wt% authigenic clays dominated by kaolinite and illite/montmorillonite mixed layer clays. To mitigate sand production and improve well productivity, a frac pack stimulation ...
Summary Low-dosage hydrate inhibitors (LDHIs) have been actively investigated for more than a decade in both academia and the petroleum industry. The promise of LDHIs has been to provide a viable alternative to thermodynamic inhibitors, such as methanol and glycol. Inevitably, the journey of LDHIs ...
Summary This paper discusses the evolution of the global and regional Regulatory Regime for the decommissioning of disused oil and gas production platforms and other installations. The last part of this paper puts the regulatory aspects of the issue discussed into context. Introduction In June ...
Summary This paper chronicles the design analysis performed to drill the Gulf of Mexico's deepest well. With small-diameter casing cemented in the hole, slimhole drilling plans for the record depth well were generated. The short fuse project required an atypical slimhole drillstring design to select ...
Summary The reuse of existing well bores is a cost-saving technique used by oil and gas producers in mature fields. This process usually requires the removal of tubing and packers to allow the well to be deepened or sidetracked. The tubing removal process is often made difficult when the tubing is ...
Summary The national oil company of Trinidad and Tobago (Petrotrin) has more than 5,000 idle wells. The company initiated a procedure for leasing these idle wells to small independent operators in July 1989 through a program known as the ""lease operatorship"" program. This paper reviews the status ...
