Companies are using hand-held and projection-type visualization tools to more effectively interrogate and interpret vast amounts of volumetric data
High prices and strong gas demand prompted Canadian operators to drill a record number of wells, a figure that they are likely to exceed in 2001
Part 2 - Practical application of through-tubing well control is discussed for conditions requiring balanced well pressure at the surface
Part 1 – Fifteen new systems are featured in four categories of artificial lift: beam, progressing cavity, hydraulic pumping and gas lift
Special Report
Case studies for Independent Producers
Fifteen pages of tables list available cement additives from seven service companies, their functions and trade names. Products are grouped into 15 functional categories, including basic cements and additives
Castle Resources Inc. performed gel polymer treatments on four Arbuckle Sand producers in its Vine A lease in the Solomon field in Ellis County, Kansas, during 1995.
The Hopkins Fee in Belridge field had no production when Nuevo Energy Company purchased its interests in this field in Kern County, California, in 1996.
Special eight-page feature, prepared by World Oil and PTTC, presents four case history reports on recent drilling and production techniques that have been field-tested successfully
Sustained casing pressure and fluid loss due to casing leaks are ongoing and expensive problems in older oil and gas fields.
Using a walking beam-operated gas compressor, operators can increase production and reduce operating costs on rod-pumped wells by drawing gas and gas pressure from the casing to allow additional hydrocarbon flow.
