Abstract: A method is provided to determine and mitigate one or more downhole events of a drill string in a wellbore. The method includes receiving, via a processor, drilling data from one or more surface sensors. The drilling data is processed into a plurality of segments. Each of the plurality of segments are processed by a pre-trained model such that one or more labels are determined. The one or more labels are relating to one or more downhole events corresponding to each of the plurality of segments.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides processes for removing hydrocarbons, oil coated solids, and suspended solids from a separated water stream produced from a produced water source. In particular, the methods comprise subjecting the separated water stream to a centrifugal separation followed by filtration.

Abstract: Perf-Wash-Cement (“P/W/C”) abandonment are conducted in an offshore oil or gas well annulus, in particular the washing or cementing operation uses a rotating head with nozzles dispensing wash fluid or cement at pressure. A new design of bottom hole assembly is proposed in which the cementing tool has a relatively large diameter in order to optimize pressure whilst the wash tool has a relatively small diameter. The wash process, for a number of reasons, appears to be less sensitive to tool diameter and making the wash tool smaller reduces the overall risk of stuck pipe.

Abstract: A system and method for turning a well over to production. The method may include drilling a wellbore using a drillstring, casing the wellbore, fracturing a reservoir, drilling the wellbore to a plug back total depth using the drillstring to clean out the wellbore, and converting the drillstring from a drilling mode to a production mode.

Abstract: A procedure and apparatus for cementing and cleaning a reservoir liner 3 comprises installing a reservoir liner using a drill string 4 which extends only as far as the distal end of a cased part 2 of the well, then, using the drill string, displacing cement into the reservoir liner using completion fluid whereby, when the cement is in place in the annulus around the reservoir liner, the reservoir liner is already clean and filled with completion fluid. A ball valve 6 at the top of the reservoir liner 3 is then closed before the cased part 2 of the wellbore is cleaned, to avoid debris entering the reservoir liner.

Abstract: A cementing tool (1) and method for setting a cement plug where Instead of the conventional “balanced plug”, the technique involves pumping cement whilst pulling and rotating the tool. The cementing tool (1) includes nozzles (9) for jetting cement which are located in a relatively narrow region (8) of the tool and a larger diameter choke region (5) proximal of the nozzles (9). The end of the tool (11) is closed off and tapered. The tool is passed down the well to a location where it is desired to set a plug, then cement is injected whilst rotating and withdrawing the tool. The jets of cement help displace existing fluid in the well thereby reducing mixing of the existing fluid with the cement, The choke region (5) increases the flow energy, whilst the tapered end (11) helps prevent disruption to the cement as the tool is withdrawn. The choke region (5) may be expandable to allow the tool to pass through a cased part of the well and then set a plug in an under-reamed open hole part of the well.

Abstract: Proppant flowback during post-stimulation well clean up and production is a common occurrence in most hydraulically fractured wells. The production of the proppant from a propped fracture is related to the forces acting on the proppant pack during the well that is actively producing fluids. Flow rate and pressure data collected during the post-treatment flowback activity is used in simulating bottomhole (BH) production rates using a Gaussian solution scheme. The BH rate is distributed amongst the various perforation clusters while incorporating the effects of key hydraulic fracture characteristics in the presence of simulated effective bottomhole flowing pressures across different fluid entry points into the wellbore. The solution is updated at each time step during the simulation. The production allocation is then used in calculating effective flow velocities that are then compared with critical velocities to predict proppant flowback. Steps to mitigate or reduce the flowback are implemented.

Abstract: A method for installing a dual/multiple lateral well where the overburden casing is relatively narrow includes drilling a single diameter bore for the first lateral and employing a tapered liner. The liner has a narrow production section (109) and a larger diameter proximal section (104). A hollow whipstock (113) is run into the well and a window is milled in the proximal section (104) of the tapered liner, allowing a branched lateral B (115) to be drilled and then a liner (116) run through it.

Abstract: A process is described for milling a window in the casing (2) of an oil or gas producing well, for example in order to drill a lateral well branching off from the main well. A wireline milling tool is first used, in a relatively low cost operation, to create a small window (14) or notch in the casing (2). Provided a small window (14) or notch can be created successfully, an expensive heavy duty coil tubing milling operation can then be conducted to create the full window, some 4-6 feet in length. Previous attempts to create a full window using wireline tools have encountered difficulties due to there being no circulating drilling fluid to remove metal swarf and due to the need for the tool to be supported by casing during the milling operation, when the integrity of the casing is being compromised by drilling the window. The proposed wireline tool has an actuator (4) with relatively small stroke length and a relatively small container (8) to manage the swarf produced by the milling process.
