There are different definitions of what is Well Integrity. The most widely accepted definition is given by NORSOK D-010: "Application of technical, operational and organizational solutions to reduce risk of uncontrolled release of formation fluids throughout the life cycle of a well."[1] Other accepted definition is given by ISO TS 16530-2 "Containment and the prevention of the escape of fluids (i.e. Well Integrity is a multidisciplinary approach. Therefore, well integrity engineers need to interact constantly with different disciplines to assess the status of well barriers and well barrier envelopes at all times.

In the early days of the oil industry, saline water or brine frequently was produced from a well along with oil, and as the oil-production rate declined, the water-production rate often would increase. This water typically was disposed of by dumping it into nearby streams or rivers. In the 1920s, the practice began of reinjecting the produced water into porous and permeable subsurface formations, including the reservoir interval from which the oil and water originally had come. By the 1930s, reinjection of produced water had become a common oilfield practice. Reinjection of water was first done systematically in the Bradford oil field of Pennsylvania, U.S.A.[5] There, the initial "circle-flood" approach was replaced by a "line flood," in which two rows of producing wells were staggered on both sides of an equally spaced row of water-injection wells. In the 1920s, besides the line flood, a "five-spot" well layout was used (so named because its pattern is like that of the five spots on ...

Abstract This work documents two experiments that make use of OpenAI's ChatGPT and GPT-4 for question answering in the petroleum industry. First, we describe PetroQA, a prototype tool that can answer natural language questions. It uses PetroWiki content to inform ChatGPT about facts specific to this industry. We are able to convince ChatGPT to avoid hallucinations and cite its sources. We asked nearly 200 SPE members to volunteer to test PetroQA and discuss results from that test. Second, we are developing and testing a tool, known as GraphQA, that allows users to ask questions and receive answers from a large graph knowledge base consisting of facts and relations between concepts such as wells, fields, basins, formations, geography, geologic age, rock type, operators, and more. A knowledge base like this is difficult for users to explore, so we use GPT-4 to automatically generate accurate graph queries from their natural language questions. We explore several novel techniques for prompting GPT-4 to produce the right queries and have developed an advanced caching mechanism to reduce interactions with the cloud model, thus reducing time to answer and cost.

In this monthโs column, I will share news on the recent SPE Board of Directors meeting in Saudi Arabia and SPEโs utilization of artificial intelligence (AI). The first of the Boardโs quarterly meetings of the year is usually held virtually where several administrative items are discussed and the nomination process for the new Board members gets started. The last meeting of the year is held in conjunction with the SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition (ATCE). The middle two meetings are usually held in areas with significant industry operations that gives the Board an opportunity to meet the leaders of SPE sections and regions. The spring 2023 meeting was held for the first time in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. Below are some of the key decisions reached at the meeting. - Approved the nominating committeeโs recommendations for the 2025 SPE PresidentโOlivier Houzรฉ; Data Science and Engineering Analytics Technical DirectorโSushma Bhan; Asia Pacific Regional DirectorโHazli Sham Kassim; Europe Regional DirectorโPierre Emmanuel dโHuart; Latin America and the Caribbean Regional DirectorโCarlos Alberto Pedroso; North American Regional DirectorโKim Oracheski; and the Russia and Caspian Regional DirectorโAlexey Borisenko. More information about these volunteers was published in the April JPT. - Approved the budget for SPEโs fiscal year 2024, which runs from 1 April 2023 to 31 March 2024. - Reviewed the activities for selling the building in Richardson, Texas. - Updated the process for countries/sections that wish to be considered for an exception to the membership dues. - Removed the requirement for students to provide a full technical paper for participation in the Regional Student Paper Contest. - Approved SPE CCUS International Conference and Exhibition, October 2023, in Al Khobar, Saudi Arabia. - Formed a work group to develop a long-term plan for SPEโs flagship event, ATCE. - Approved SPE policy on AI-generated content in publications (details on the policy are available here). - Updated the Charitable Contribution Policy when SPE donates to areas where our members are affected by natural disasters like hurricanes and earthquakes. In conjunction with the meeting in Dhahran, Board members attended the monthly meeting of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Section, with about 500 members, to discuss local and Society-level activities. Saudi Aramco arranged for the Board to visit the Shaybah field operations and the natural wildlife sanctuary in the Rubโ al-Khali, or Empty Quarter. It is interesting how the challenges of operating a large oilfield facility in a remote area like the Empty Quarter are like what I used to see with operations of the Prudhoe Bay and Kuparuk fields in the North Slope of Alaska. It is telling the extent of what we do to provide the world with energy it needs when at airports like in Anchorage next to the counters of United, American, and Alaska Airlines, there were counters for ARCO, BP, and ExxonMobil. The next Board meeting in July 2023 will be held in Kuala Lumpur. I am looking forward to connecting with our colleagues at Petronas as well as other employers and stakeholders in the area.

The Burgan field is an oil field situated in the desert of southeastern Kuwait. Burgan field can also refer to the Greater Burgan--a group of three closely spaced fields, which includes Burgan field itself as well as the much smaller Magwa and Ahmadi fields. Greater Burgan is the world's largest sandstone oil field, and the second largest overall, afterGhawar. The Greater Burgan field includes two smaller fields the Magwa and the Ahmadi. Chief Executive of the Kuwait Oil Company reported that Burgan produced half of Kuwait's oil.

Abstract Azimuthal acoustic logging-while-drilling (LWD) sensors have recently been used in a bottomhole assembly (BHA) to evaluate the viability of sourceless formation evaluation compared to conventional density-neutron data acquired in the same run in a horizontal well across a carbonate sequence. Borehole deterioration and significant pore pressure variations across the reservoir layers pose wellbore stability risks during the drilling phase, which has historically requireddrilling deviated pilot-hole sections for evaluation purposes. These sections were then plugged, backed, and sidetracked. Previous experiences in the same geological setting also encountered extreme borehole enlargements. LWD helped acquire high-quality data before borehole enlargement occurred. Additionally, possible rock anisotropy indications were observed, and rock mechanical moduli were derived. The results were then correlated and normalized to existing field geomechanics knowledge and offset well data. Azimuthal acoustic tools, free of radioactive sources, were run in an LWD tool combination, with the primary objective of measuring porosity, pressure prediction, and possible anisotropy using a four-axis acoustic caliper sensor. This paper discusses the planning, design, and execution of an LWD azimuthal acoustic tool in the case study well. Additionally, the viability, integrity, and robustness of logged data as well as interpreted results are discussed. Optimization of real-time drilling operations and petrophysical dataacquisition requirements are also investigated to help optimize future field development data-acquisition requirements and overall reservoirmanagement strategies.

Ongoing growth in the volume of raw data generated by digitized oil and gas operations has been widely documented (Spath, 2014). What may be less apparent is that the industry is also authoring dramatically more unstructured content--interpretations, learnings, case studies, etc.--on an annual basis. This is not surprising, as anecdotal evidence suggests that most decisions are taken on the basis of unstructured data (Quaadgras & Beath, 2011) (Garland, 2017) (Palkowsky, 2005) (Haines, Shaughnessy, & Briggs, 2006) (Hollingsworth & Schey, 2017). At the Society of Petroleum Engineers, the number of new papers published annually has followed an exponential growth curve that doubles approximately every 10-11 years, beginning as far back as the early 1950's. Beyond books, journals, and conference papers available through the OnePetro digital library, SPE content comprises articles from print (the Journal of Petroleum Technology), digital-only publications (Oil and Gas Facilities, The Way Ahead and HSE Now), a variety of general-interest web pages, and technical resources (PetroWiki and SPE Connect). Well over 200,000 distinct items--papers or web pages--are available through the SPE's web sites as of May 2018. For oil and gas professionals looking for information from SPE content, the growing volume of information and diversity of sources has made it increasingly hard to find the relevant content quickly.

Kirkuk is a supergiant oil reservoir located in Iraq. Kirkuk began production in 1934, and 2 billion bbl of oil were produced before water injection was implemented in 1961. From 1961 to 1971, 3.2 billion bbl of oil were produced under pressure maintenance by waterdrive using river water. The 1971 production rate was approximately 1.1 million barrels of oil per day (BOPD). Since then, the field has continued to produce large volumes of oil by voidage-replacement water injection; however, few production details for recent years appear in the technical literature.
