Completion and operational issues arise during the management of horizontal wells in naturally fractured reservoir systems.  Similar problems have been observed in vertical wells.  These observations, which will be discussed, are based on a significant population of wells, which have been evaluated for their completion effectiveness and persistence, reservoir quality, and other performance metrics.  There …

Weatherford’s Digital Oil Field solutions have evolved over time based on continued learning experience.  DOF experience has taught us that solutions are at the intersection of people, process and technology.  Technological solutions start with baseline SCADA as the foundation and then build on that with lift automation techniques and asset optimization workflows.  While a complete …

  Chemistry and chemicals and engineering design of their applications are critical in all phases of oil and gas operations. The 2015 SPE International Symposium on Oilfield Chemistry will focus on new and emerging chemical technologies and design for their application with papers that cover laboratory studies, simulations, and field applications. Sessions are being developed …
