Advanced Sucker Rod Coupling Material Optimizes Efficiency and Oil Productivity
July 18, 2018
Sponsored by: Materion
Since 2016, 28 operators have installed sucker rod couplings made of ToughMet® 3 TS95 in more than 900 oil wells located in the Bakken and Permian Basin to mitigate failures caused by coupling-on-tubing wear. In addition to fewer costly workovers, engineers monitoring these wells reported unanticipated performance and well efficiency improvements. To quantify the additional benefits, several operators ran field trials specifically to assess the improvements in well performance after the installation of ToughMet couplings.
Solids Management for Produced Water. How Can You be One Step Ahead of the Others?
July 18, 2018
Sponsored by: Hydrozonix
When it comes to solids management, operators often found themselves in the demanding situation of engineering a solution without clear understanding of the range of solids concentration or composition. This turns engineered solutions into a practice of trial and error. This presented paper promotes the idea of developing a solids profile which includes identifying the sources of solids, analyzing the solids composition and properties, understanding the impact the solids can have when produced water gets used for different purposes, and making an appropriate decision on solids control depending on the intended use of the produced water.

June 25, 2018
Sponsored by: Energy Web Atlas
China is growing increasingly energy-hungry as its population and transport infrastructure expands. China’s demand from oil into natural gas & LNG has outpaced supply for several years, which has resulted in the need to improve the country’s natural gas and LNG infrastructure. Download this whitepaper to learn more about China's state of natural gas and LNG demand.
Petroleum Economist Legal Energy Survey
May 23, 2018
Sponsored by: Petroleum Economist
Law firms serve as the essential lubricants in deal activity in oil and gas from wellhead to pump station. Until now, there has been no easy way to gauge which legal practices are most active in the market. Petroleum Economist will change that with the launch of the PE Legal Energy Survey.
Mexico's unfolding natural gas transformation
May 10, 2018
Sponsored by: Energy Web Atlas
The global energy industry has seen how the shale boom turned the US into a leading gas producer and exporter. Much of the recent development in the Americas' natural gas/LNG sector has been concentrated in the US Gulf Coast region, which is a key energy hub for much of the world. But what about Mexico?
