This talk presents a novel rock mechanics testing method for remotely monitoring, detecting and assessing mechanical weakening and possible sand production in sandstone reservoirs during...
Abstract: All exploration, drilling and production well objectives require drilling with or against Earth stresses. Plate vectors from GPS and SHmax vectors from earthquakes provide...
Accurate knowledge of hydrocarbon fluid behaviour as it is produced from reservoir to surface helps determine the engineering and economic decisions that need to...
Performance Prediction and Management of a Degraded Mooring System. In 2013 OMV commenced an inspection campaign to baseline the condition of the mooring for the...
Well depth was measured until about two decades ago using a relatively standard procedure based on wireline logs, and it was then essentially fit-for-purpose. The...
Abstract: With the advent and common usage of high resolution tree gauges, downhole permanent pressure/temperature gauges, and continuous flow measurement, many of the common petroleum...
In the current challenging market one of the first areas to suffer are graduate programs and graduate recruitment. This responds to immediate needs and pressures...
Oil well decline curve analysis (DCA) is used to estimate remaining reserves throughout the world. DCA is an empirical method: it requires historical production data;...
Jack Harfoushian, Schlumberger Event Flyer Abstract With today’s depressed price of oil, underlying uncertainties relating to reserves estimation are subjected to more scrutiny than ever...
Abstract: Digital rock analysis, an emerging technology driven by rapid advances in 3D pore scale imaging and computation, allows an unprecedented quantitative understanding of the...
