Abstract: Systems and methods of forming a seal employ a robust metal sealing unit for tubulars used in rotary drilling. Specifically, eutectic alloy is used to seal a tubular to a wellbore after drilling. A downhole heater melts the alloy, allowing the alloy to expand and drain before it cools and solidifies between the wellbore and tubular, forming a gas tight seal.

Abstract: Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for developing resources from a reservoir. In one implementation, obtaining nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) log data is obtained for one or more wells of the reservoir. The NMR data is captured using one or more logging tools. An interpreted NMR log is generated by quantifying one or more fluid producibility parameters. The one or more fluid producibility parameters are quantified by processing the NMR log data using automated unsupervised machine learning. A production characterization of the reservoir is generated based on the interpreted NMR log, with the reservoir being developed based on the production characterization.

Abstract: Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for increasing accuracy of firing perforating charges in an oil well casing. In one implementation, a body of an orientation device has a first portion and a second portion. An opening extends through a center of the body from a first lateral surface to a second lateral surface, and the opening is configured to receive a perforating gun string. An outer perimeter surface extends about the center of the body from the first lateral surface to the second lateral surface. The outer perimeter surface has a first shape associated with the first portion and a second shape associated with the second portion. The second shape forms a base portion configured to maintain the perforating gun string in an orientation by preventing rotation of the perforating gun string. The orientation corresponds to a predetermined perforating charge direction of the perforating gun string.

Abstract: Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for an integrated development optimization platform for well sequencing and unconventional reservoir management. The platform integrates key elements of unconventional development planning, such as production forecast, lease obligations, surface facilities, and economics and provides analysis and data associated with past and future field development and production. In addition, development optimization platform includes the parent-child relationship as one of the determining factors of production performance, which can provide valuable insights into the frac-hit impact and infill performance. The defensive re-fracs may also be incorporated to provide a more holistic view on project investment and field development. The development optimization platform is not only an optimization platform for well sequence and development planning, but also a reservoir management tool.

Abstract: Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for increasing production performance in a Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage system. In one implementation, an upper mating unit of an inverted shroud assembly is received with a lower mating unit of the inverted should assembly in a slidable relationship. The upper mating unit is coupled to a pump-intake assembly. The lower mating unit is coupled to a motor-seal assembly. The slidable relationship secures the pump-intake assembly to the motor-seal assembly. A motor of the motor-seal assembly is directly cooled by opening the motor to a production well based on an exterior attachment of the motor-seal assembly relative to an inverted shroud.

Abstract: Methods for using shut-in pressures to determine uncertainties in a hydraulic fracturing process in a shale reservoir are described. Data commonly collected during multistage fracturing is used to calculate propped fracture height and induced stresses, as well as other variables, in the presence of horizontal stress anisotropy. These variables can then be incorporated into reservoir simulations to improve the fracturing monitoring, forecast hydrocarbon recoveries, or modify fracturing plans.
