Rate Transient Analysis (RTA) has become very popular over the past decade as a theoretically robust, yet very practical tool for well performance evaluation, making use of continuously measured production rates and flowing pressures which are collected as part of good production practices.  With the advent of unconventional resource plays (particularly shale gas and liquids-rich …

Anadarko has discovered a field in the GoM where the MASP at the mudline exceed 15,000 psi, therefore Anadarko has assemble a “20A” team consisting of experts in the design development, manufacture, and inspection of Drilling, Completions, Intervention, Subsea and Subsurface Equipment in a 20,000 psi environment.  This presentation will explain the the development concepts …

  With recent advances in E&P technology, the industry has grown more reliant on using large, complex, and high-dimensional datasets. Using these data sets, intricate models and simulations describe the physical systems and propose sound recovery plans. Spectacular progress in digital and information technologies has led to more robust and effective solutions for production operations. …

REGISTER SOON:  http://www.spe.org/training/courses/PND.php   Attendees of this course, offered in both 2-day and 3-day versions, will learn the Arps equations, the effects of layering and changing fluid properties on the Arps exponent, and comparing production characteristics of horizontal to vertical wells. Interpretation of performance curves to determine drive mechanisms, recovery efficiency, and effects of operations …

  The ongoing American shale gas revolution has sparked a construction boom as the petrochemical industry looks to takes advantage of the inexpensive feed stock. Chemical companies have committed billions to project in the Gulf Coast and the Marcellus Shale regions.   For Barbara Shook, these industry developments are reminiscent of another U.S. petrochemicals boom. …

Meeting the demands of shorter project cycle times while bringing new facilities online remains a challenge in many oil & gas companies keeping them from achieving operational excellence.  While the topic of engineering data management and availability is not flashy, it is fundamental to meeting many of the challenges associated the operational excellence.  This discussion will focus …
