Best Practices to Improve Accurate Time Stamping of Data at the Well Site - SPE Energy Stream

Several companies collect data at the rig, and each company's data acquisition system applies its own timestamp to the data. Subsequent aggregation of data relies on synchronized timestamps which are rarely true. This paper presentation shares the different sources or errors in data time stamping and provides best practices to help mitigate some of these causes.

Hydraulic Fracture Geometry, Morphology, and Parent-Child Interactions: Bakken Case Study - SPE Energy Stream

With the continued advances in fiber-optic technologies, we can now measure cluster-level fracture behavior at the wellbore and in the far-field. Recently developed low-cost, pressure-based technologies enable high-volume data acquisition but may not provide the same level of detail compared to microseismic and fiber-optic measurements. This paper presents a case history that details the application of deployable fiber optics to characterize fracture geometry and morphology using microseismic and strain data. It also presents results from Sealed Wellbore Pressure Monitoring (SWPM) (Haustveit et al. 2020), comparing the lower-cost SWPM technology to the higher-cost deployable fiber.

Prospect Evaluation Based on Integrated Petroleum System Analysis: Block E Case Study, South-Eastern Edge of Precaspian Basin, Kazakhstan (in English) - SPE Energy Stream

This presentation in English is from the 2021 SPE Annual Caspian Technical Conference. Our archived 2020-21 event content is now available free to SPE members! Positive geological and geochemical prerequisites have been identified for the purpose of increasing hydrocarbon resource potential in the under-explored study area. A methodology has been developed for assessing the hydrocarbon potential and prospecting for new promising oil and gas accumulation zones using the technology of basin modeling, provided there is a lack of initial data. A high hydrocarbon source rock generative potential and the degree of thermal maturity of the Lower Permian, Mid Carboniferous and Upper Devonian strata of the south-eastern part of the Precaspian depression have been revealed.

Sustainability Case Study: Driving Value Creation through Innovation - SPE Energy Stream

Joseph Lima with Schlumberger talks about the development and advancement of horizontal drilling and stimulation, how these technological advances have decreased the effects of drilling on the environment, and the necessity of clear communication to those without a reservoir background. Presented at the 2016 International Conference on Health, Safety, Security, Environment, and Social Responsibility held in Stavanger, Norway.

Linking Flowback Recovery to Completion Efficiency: Niobrara-DJ Basin Case Study - SPE Energy Stream

Near wellbore complexity is a current topic of discussion among geoscience and engineering disciplines across North America. Near- and far-field wellbore diagnostic techniques are generally used for parameter constraints for rate-transient-analysis that requires months (and sometimes years) of production after post-frac flowback. In this paper presentation's study, they utilized flowback water-oil-ratio as a diagnostic tool to provide early-time feedback for completion-efficiency evaluation. They analyzed flowback, post-flowback, and completion-design data of 19 multi-fractured horizontal wells completed in Niobrara and Codell formations classified into parent and child groups. Results showed that child wells had 32% more load recovery compared with the parent wells, and the parent wells showed 38% and 50% more 9-months cumulative oil production (Qo) and UQo, respectively.
