Effective well management hinges on a solid understanding of principles. This begins with appreciating the physics of subsurface pressure and how it interacts with the borehole. A critical aspect is recognizing potential kick sources, which can arise from unanticipated permeability changes or damaged borehole completions. Operators must diligently … Read More
Maintaining wellbore integrity is crucial for the efficient operation of oil and gas wells. As wells age or encounter harsh environmental conditions, they can become susceptible to failure, potentially leading to production loss, reservoir contamination, and safety hazards. Reinforcement techniques offer a proven means of controlling these risks by… Read More
