Drilling Response of Impregnated Diamond Bits: Challenges and Opportunities Drilling industry has been facing challenges associated with drilling hard and abrasive formations, where low drilling performance and short bit life lead to low rate of penetrations and number of trips. The drilling efficiency can be improved by using Impregnated Diamond (ID) bit, where the performance […]

Abstract: Perforating is a key part in any well completion, being the link between wellbore and reservoir rock. Most think of perforating as being the act of running guns loaded with shaped charges into a well on wireline or tubing and blasting holes as deep as possible into the formation. However, techniques and models have […]

Title:  South West Hub CO2 Storage Dynamic Modelling CO2 sequestration in underground formations is currently being considered to reduce the amount of CO2 emitted into the atmosphere. Understanding of the subsurface, trapping and containment mechanisms and the chemical and physical interactions between CO2, formation water, and formation rock is necessary before sequestration can be approved. […]

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 engineering calculations and analysis tools for production systems can and have been automated. These include: a) Well Test Analysis, b) Well Productivity, c) Static and Flowing Material Balances and Energy […]

Abstract:    Presenter: Kevin Illingworth Originally from Aberdeen, Kevin began his career in the oil and gas industry back in 1989, when he joined Expro in Aberdeen in the Well Intervention department. Nearly 30 years later he has worked for both service companies and operators, across a range of well intervention, well services and completions […]
