As Ai language tools evolve (such as ChatGPT) evolve and become ever present in the generation of content, best practices and ethics of usage are still developing. AI language tools can provide source materials as a starting point for a PetroWiki page or even provide editing assistance. If you elect to use AI tools for developing a PetroWiki page, the following tips should be considered. The quality of AI language tools content will rely heavily on the prompts given. When creating prompts for AI language tools to use in PetroWiki, make sure they are descriptive and include keywords like "encyclopedic", "accurate", "professional" and/or "PHD level writing style" to minimize the chances of AI language tools utilizing original/copyrighted content. Multiple successive prompts can help AI language tools center in on the correct information.
Drilling fluids serve to balance formation pressures while drilling to ensure wellbore stability. They also carry cuttings to the surface and cool the bit. These primary considerations do not include well productivity concerns. A growing recognition of the importance of drilling-induced formation damage has led to the use of drill-in fluids (fluids used to drill through the pay zone) that minimize formation damage. This page discusses the formation damage that may be associated with various types of drilling fluids.
The Plug and Abandonment Technical Section is dedicated to cost effective well decommissioning and leakage prevention from abandoned wells, including the repair of failed or patently inadequate prior abandonments of old wells that were plugged-off under outdated industry practices or regulatory expectations. The P&ATS is established for technical professionals, academia, and stakeholders working in well decommissioning to come together and share knowledge, experiences, best practices and expectations or regulations; identify opportunities for innovation; promote industry awareness of technical challenges, solutions, and the expectations of society; and enhance technical competency. The focus of the Technical Section is on "deep" wells. These are wells that must comply with the same set of regulations as oil, gas, and geothermal wells, including associated water injection and saltwater or sand, cuttings or sludge disposal wells. P&A has recently evolved from a one-time end-of-life cost, where a few locally designated compliance boxes were ticked-off, to an essential and prolonged effort to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, prevent aquifer pollution, and manage liabilities.
