A Chemical Manufacturer
Abstract Europe’s Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) Regulation (Official Journal of European Union, 2006) is the most ...
Seismic While Drilling in the Grane Field
Using a standard surface seismic source and a set of acoustic receivers placed within the bottomhole assembly of a drillstring provides data equivalent to conventional wireline ...
Nanoparticles for Formation Fines Fixation and Improving Performance of ...
Abstract The migration of formation fines during hydrocarbon production has been a major problem to resolve in our industry. In many reservoirs fines migrate to the near ...
Field Case Study on Formation Fines Control With Nanoparticles in Offshore Wells
Abstract Various technologies have been developed in the industry to find efficient and cost-effective ways to control fines migration in producing wells. Migrating fines are ...
New Remediation Technology Enables Removal of Residual Polymer in Hydraulic ...
Abstract Over the past decade, the majority of wells drilled have required hydraulic fracturing treatments to become economically profitable. The primary objective for hydraulic ...

Abstract Various methods have been employed mitigate fines migration problems that result in decreased productivity in oil and gas wells. This paper discusses the use of ...
New Approach to Knowledge Capture: Center of Excellence for Sand Control ...
Abstract In large global organizations, experts who collaborate with their colleagues in the Digital Oilfield of the Future (DOFF) are geographically dispersed and mobile. Their ...
Beyond the Frac: Using the Fracture Process as the Delivery System for ...
Abstract It is a well-accepted practice to add production chemicals to a formation through a squeeze process. These are designed to place chemical in the near well area and treat ...
Solid Production Chemicals Added with the Frac for Scale, Paraffin and ...
Abstract Prolonged chemical inhibition is the desired outcome from placing a solid inhibitor in a formation during the fracturing process. Traditionally liquid inhibitors ...
Laboratory and Field Studies of Long-term Release Rates for a Solid Scale ...
Abstract Mineral scale build-up decreases permeability of the formation, reduces well productivity and shortens the lifetime of production equipment. Chemical scale inhibitors are ...
A 5-Year Survey of Applications and Results of Placing Solid Chemical Inhibitors ...
Abstract Solid chemical inhibitors placed in the formation during hydraulic fracturing have provided inhibition protection for up to five years. Deepwater ...
Solid Paraffin Inhibitor Pumped in a Hydraulic Fracture Provides Long-Term ...
Abstract In a novel chemical technology development, a robust liquid paraffin inhibitor is adsorbed onto an inert solid matrix. This solid fits within the size distribution range ...
Long-Term Scale Inhibition Using a Solid Scale Inhibitor in a Fracture Fluid
Abstract Prolonged scale inhibition in excess of one year is a desirable benefit of oil and gas well formation squeeze treatments. Traditionally liquid inhibitors have given ...
