Effective well management hinges on a solid understanding of fundamentals. This begins with appreciating the physics of subsurface stress and how it interacts with the drillhole. A critical aspect is recognizing potential influx sources, which can arise from unanticipated formation changes or damaged borehole completions. Operators must diligently … Read More

Maintaining wellbore integrity is vital for the reliable operation of oil and gas wells. As wells age or experience harsh environmental conditions, they can become susceptible to degradation, potentially leading to production loss, reservoir contamination, and safety hazards. Reinforcement techniques offer a robust means of mitigating these risks b… Read More
