Sand production is, a challenging issue in petroleum industry, mainly associated with weak
unconsolidated formations. A novel testing procedure and a new apparatus were developed …

Thousands of well-perforation jobs are executed successfully around the world each month;
however, certain perforation jobs require special design considerations to minimize the risk …

A large number of well perforation jobs are conducted successfully worldwide each year.
However, gunshock related damage poses a significant risk when perforating high-pressure …

Perforating wells calls for careful planning to maximize well productivity over the life of the
well, and to prevent time and money losses due to unexpected side effects. A large class of …

Thousands of wireline conveyed perforating jobs are executed every month around the
world; however certain jobs have a higher risk of weak-point breakage due to dynamic …

In this paper we describe the challenges and the techniques used to deliver zero perforation
skin wells in the Blacktip gas field offshore Australia. We describe the software models used …

We present perforating on wireline with dynamic underbalance (DUB) to simultaneously
maximize productivity and minimize gunshock. We focus on perforating on wireline with …

In the quest to exploit behind-pipe opportunities, production from shallow low-permeability
reservoirs were evaluated using propellant perforating technology. Initial development of …

The present doctoral thesis deals with the study and the analysis of large strain and high
strain rate behavior of materials and components. Theoretical, experimental and …

In this paper we describe a perforating technology that helped deliver highly productive
wells in the Tunu field, a multilayer sandstone gas reservoir in Indonesia. We describe the …
