Reviews the types and features of casing and tubing housings, Christmas tree components and flowline valves, as well as flowline sizing, installations and operating procedures.

This presentation covers the principles of control theory and the popular methods of implementation.

In this SPE Tech Talk, SLB reviews the challenges that valves will face, both from metallic materials and non-metallic materials perspectives, and several solutions that can be used to ensure long-term valve performance in CO2 piping and infrastructure. 

Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas (GHG). Over 20 years, it is 80 times more potent at warming than carbon dioxide, with onshore conventional wellsite production facilities being the source of more than 50% of petroleum methane emissions in the United States (US). An operator working in the gas condensate window of the Eagle Ford shale has been diligently looking for innovative transition technologies to help minimize methane emissions from wellsite sources. Other key sustainability attributes for the project were capex and opex savings while simplifying well-pad architecture.

The webinar provides an overview of deepwater, subsea, intelligent completion design commonly deployed in the Gulf of Mexico and West Africa, with emphasis on downhole sensors and interval control valves. Most of what is discussed can be applied to any completion with subsurface data collection or downhole flow control devices.

Digital completion software, sensors, controls, and best practices from operators and service companies are changing hydraulic fracturing and wireline

The gas lift design technique is the result of empirical evidence gathered at the wellhead. Because the design technique is generally successful it is

This webinar will present a recently developed artificial lift method called Liquid-Assisted Gas-Lift (LAGL). This new technology can be used as an artificial lift method that uses NO downhole equipment. The LAGL technology simplifies the well completion versus the traditional use of multiple gas-lift valves and mandrels or downhole pumps. This dramatically reduces the risk of tubing-to-casing leak and the frequency of well interventions while improving overall well integrity and safety. Well test data from a pilot test and a few case study results are also presented. The latter results and analyses will show how the LAGL technology can lower operational expenses while increasing safety for unconventional horizontal wells.
