This presentation in Russian is from the 2020 SPE Russian Petroleum Technology Conference. Our archived 2020-21 event content is now available free to SPE members! Fluids capable of transporting proppant with the least formation and fractures contamination are one of the most relevant areas of the technological development of hydraulic fracturing treatment. In the world in recent years, there has been a tendency to switch from cross-linked guar-based fracturing fluids to synthetic ones. Despite the obvious advantages in using synthetic fluid systems over standard guar-based systems, until now they have not been widely used in conventional reservoirs.

Non-Guar Synthetic Hydraulic Fracturing Gels – Successful Concept of Choice (in English) - SPE Energy Stream

This presentation in English is from the 2020 SPE Russian Petroleum Technology Conference. Our archived 2020-21 event content is now available free to SPE members! Fluids capable of transporting proppant with the least formation and fractures contamination are one of the most relevant areas of the technological development of hydraulic fracturing treatment. In the world in recent years, there has been a tendency to switch from cross-linked guar-based fracturing fluids to synthetic ones. Highly viscous friction reducers find wider application in the new concept of modern industry development.

Better Practices for Well Shut-In and Start-Up - SPE Energy Stream

The practice of temporarily suspending well production in conventional reservoirs is common, however, for unconventional operations, the industry has very limited experience of shuttering production on a large scale with many questions on how stimulated, nanodarcy shale reservoirs may respond. George King discusses the paradigm shifts needed in the industry.

Economical and Technical Solution for Waterflooding Projects in a Mature Field: Modified Dump Flooding Well Completion Strategy (in Spanish) - SPE Energy Stream

This presentation in Spanish (slides in English) is from the 2020 SPE Latin American and Caribbean Petroleum Engineering Conference. Our archived 2020-21 event content is now available free to SPE members! It is a common practice to evaluate an injection pilot before a field-level implementation of waterflooding, but this requires early investment in facilities and construction time. An alternative solution is proposed as a modification of the dump flooding concept. The modification of the conventional dump flooding design consists of adding surface monitoring and control capabilities.

Application of the Multi-Stage Hydraulic Fracturing Technology in Horizontal Wells with Large Vertical Outflow to Improve the Development Efficiency of Reservoirs with Deteriorated Filtration-Capacitance Properties at the Sakhalin Shelf Field (in English) - SPE Energy Stream

This presentation in English is from the 2020 SPE Russian Petroleum Technology Conference. Our archived 2020-21 event content is now available free to SPE members! This paper presentation shows the projected results of the offshore development option in the zone of deteriorated filtration-capacitance properties. The analysis was executed using modern methods of geological, hydrodynamic, and geomechanical modeling. Method of most favorable zones' isolation for carrying out multi-stage hydraulic fracturing of formation is proposed.

Creating Value from Water with Integrated Water Management - SPE Energy Stream

A water management approach that integrates reservoir, drilling, facilities, process, chemistry, and environmental functions is the key to achieving more efficient, reliable and responsible upstream water management. In this SPE Live, Lauren Flores and John Walsh discuss how an integrated approach can demonstrate the value of water and change the perspective to view produced water as a resource rather than a waste stream. John Walsh also talks about discipline and skillset integration for Young Professionals, relates his experience as a water specialist, and shares what makes a good engineer in light of these multidisciplinary technical challenges.

SPE Online Education: Reservoir

SPE TrainingAugust, 2022

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a critical technology for ensuring a range of clean energy options are available to meet future energy demands. Offshore storage can be linked to large point-sources of carbon dioxide (CO2) while avoiding many of the logistical difficulties and potential risks encountered when siting onshore projects, especially in densely populated areas of the East Coast of the United States. The Mid-Atlantic U.S. Offshore Carbon Storage Resource Assessment Project (MAOCSRAP), funded by the US Department of Energy, has completed a systematic carbon storage resource assessment of the mid- and north-Atlantic offshore coastal region to provide a strong technical basis on which future CCS efforts can be built.

Grand Challenges Facing the E&P Industry The E&P industry faces numerous challenges as it addresses growing energy demand, the need for sustainable operations, declining production from older reservoirs, and new resources in harder to reach and harsher environments. The (now Research Development Technical Section) identified five grand challenges for the industry and is developing white papers for each one that describe the challenge, the current state of R&D, and areas for further research. Higher Resolution Subsurface Imaging (PDF) It is hard to read road signs if you have poor eyesight, which is why driver's licenses are issued with restrictions requiring that corrective lenses must be worn. Likewise, it is hard to find and exploit subsurface resources if you can't clearly see your targets or monitor the movement of fluids in the reservoir. Challenges in Reusing Produced Water Produced water is an inextricable part of the hydrocarbon recovery processes, yet it is by far the largest volume waste stream associated with hydrocarbon recovery.
