...Optimization Goals Value optimization is the overarching goal of the analysis of stage data generated in fracturing operations. Generally, optimization is the maximization of value through either cost savings, the enhancement of results, or, ideally, both. Typically, the standard value pursued...

... HVFRs can minimize formation damage and maximize well productivity, the ultimate operator goal will be achieved. Why High Viscosity Friction Reducers? The primary function of friction reducers is changing turbulent flow to laminar flow, which can reduce frictional loss during pumping fracturing...

... drillout operations is costly to both the customer and the respective service company. In many cases, a mechanical failure can cost several days of non-productive time (NPT) and more than double the financial burden of a drillout operation for both parties. A need was identified to validate traditional...

... Abstract As many unconventional basins are maturing, infill well drilling and completion has taken the center stage in the development phase. Most operators now realize the importance of incorporating the geomechanical changes induced by stimulation and production of the parent wells while...

... to study well interventions, automates forecasting, and helps improve the effectiveness and efficiency of people and operations. This paper was selected for presentation by an SPE program committee following review of information contained in an abstract submitted by the author(s). Contents...

... Abstract This paper presents an advanced gas lift facility design that utilizes electric compression coupled with innovative process controls both on- and off-skid to improve system uptime, allow for scalable distributed and remote operations, enhance process safety, and reduce emissions. Real...

... of the horizontal well. Sensitivities were performed on various fluid systems, job volumes, and pump rates, and a playbook was created for real-time operations as part of a contingency plan. Lateral measurements included petrophysical and geomechanical data, which were used to place perforations, within a stage...

... wellhead pressures, compressors will also increase the recoverable assets of a well. Traditional compression is not able to operate with liquids present and thus requires additional infrastructure and facilities to separate, store, and transport the liquids. Multiphase production facilities are a good...

... plus). The standard design provides extra aftercooling, in part to support glycol dehydrator operation. As a result, these components often condense in compressor gas coolers, resulting in operational and environmental problems including frozen dump lines, heavy tank vapor emissions, and hydrates...
