Abstract Over the years, cement packers have been used to provide zonal isolation above the production packer without pulling the completion. Experience has shown that the risks associated with placement of the packers is fairly high and leaks are difficult to repair. A number of ways to place cement ...
Abstract The ability to perform such services as Production Logging and Perforating are now available on Slickline. With Today's technology any number of operations can be achieved more cost effectively and with greater ease than ever before. Comparison with Fiber Optic and Electric Line has proven ...
Environmental Protection in the Arabian Gulf. Abstract The Arabian Gulf had been subjected to tremendous development activities in the past 40 years, this, in addition to two fierce wars which must have had some impact on the marine environment. This paper will investigate and summarise through review ...
Abstract Achieving effective stimulation across zones not readily accessible is a common challenge in the oilfield. Several authors[1-3] have presented case histories in which horizontal wells completed with slotted liner, gravel pack, internal gravel pack, or plain sand screens were difficult to stimulate ...
Abstract The Haltenbanken area is environmentally sensitive due to its plentiful fish reserves and licensees are therefore faced with stringent guidelines for the use of chemicals. The Heidrun Field is located within the Haltenbanken group consisting of Heidrun, sgard and Norne. All are relatively ...
Abstract Environmental aspects, as defined in International Standard ISO 14001: Environmental Management Systems are activities, products, or services that interact with the environment. ExxonMobil has developed a five-step, risk-based process for identifying activities that present significant environmental ...
Abstract Indirect line heaters are used in gas production, storage, and transmission systems to boost gas temperature in order to facilitate transmission efficiency and reduce problems from water condensation and hydrates. Heat transfer efficiency in these systems is governed by conduction and convection ...
Abstract The development of a sour gas reservoir (7000 ppm H2S and 20-25% CO2) in the Kujung fractured-limestone formation in the Gundih Field, Java, Indonesia faced challenges related to drilling operations that are prone to kick - loss cycles. Well control incidents were experienced on previous wells ...
Abstract The trend to drill deeper and longer extended reach wells with long, slim-hole 6-1/8 in. horizontal production intervals has revealed serious limitations in the standard 3-1/2 in. drill pipe conventionally used in these applications. ConocoPhillips realized significant drilling performance ...
Abstract The Marnock Field contains four near horizontal gas condensate producers containing open hole dual wire wrap sand screens. Virgin pressure was 9123 psia but has dropped significantly on three wells to as low as 2200 psia. Reservoir temperature is 310°F. Pressure build up and material balance ...
Abstract Directional drilling is used extensively in the oil industry, and also has many uses in other fields. Early directional drilling is discussed in detail to familiarize the reader with its terminology and to help him more fully understand the need for improvements. In the past 10 years, directional ...
Abstract Kuh-E-Mond as the first priority of heavy oil prospect in Iran is located in southwest of Iran and 80 km southeastern of Boushehr, one of the important Iranian ports in Persian Gulf coasts. Well MD-6 was spudded on September 19, 1984 for confirmation of the heavy oil occurrence in Asmari-Jahrum ...
Abstract Recent years have witnessed a renewed interest in development of coalbed methane (CBM) reservoirs. The success stories in San Juan basin and other CBM horizons have triggered this renewed interest. Many operators are asking questions regarding the most optimum way of producing CBM reservoirs. ...
The Microtox* toxicity test is based upon the inverse relationship between the light output of a marine luminescent bacterium Photobacterium phosphoreum and the concentration of a toxic chemical. Although this test may lack environmental relevance and hence has often been considered only suitable to ...
Abstract A number of the wells reach there economical production limit and are consequently abandoned or mothballed until viable solutions are available to enhance there production to an economically feasible level. The Hawtah field (see Figure 1) discovered in the late 1980s is located 180 km south ...
Abstract Developments in extended reach drilling and completion technologies allow to economically access a number of scattered small hydrocarbon pockets and will open up further opportunities for maximizing recovery from these fields. Effective use of these developments requires us to better understand ...
Introduction Rainbow Resources Inc., as operator for the Pacific Creek Deep Unit, has drilled a record-depth well in the Rocky Mountains. The Pacific Creek structure, which was defined by seismic techniques, is about 200 miles (322 km) southwest of Casper, WY, and 60 miles (97 km) north of Rock Springs, ...
Not all of the oil emitted from Platform ""B"" was consumed by the fire. What oil did escape was largely recovered, and damage to the environment from the unrecovered portion was probably negligible. Here is a description of the various methods used to contain and recover the unburned fraction. Introduction Platform ...
American Institute of Mining, Metallurgical, and Petroleum Engineers, Inc. This paper was prepared for the Southwest Alaska Section Regional Meeting of the Society of Petroleum Engineers of AIME, to be held in Anchorage, Alaska, May 5-7, 1971. Permission to copy is restricted to an abstract of not ...
Abstract During the period 2010-2012, two parallel gas pipelines (the Nord Stream Project) are being installed in the Baltic Sea, between Vyborg in Russia and Greifswald in Germany. The pipeline system will enable an annual transport of 55 bcm of natural gas from the large Russian gas fields to the ...
