Although geologic carbon sequestration projects have yet to induce — or may never induce — a damaging earthquake, experiences from other deep injection industries such as hydraulic fracturing, enhanced geothermal systems, and saltwater disposal s
The discipline of geomechanics impacts nearly all phases of oilfield operations, from drilling to production. For unconventional reservoirs, the geomechanical properties of the subsurface greatly influence the processes of both drilling and hydraulic

Summary Drilling on top of the mesa in the Piceance basin presents a significant lost-circulation and stuck-pipe challenge to operators wanting to exploit the gas reserves in the area. Operators have experienced losses that exceed 4,000 bbl of mud wh

The paper describes a CO2 sequestration pilot test being conducted i n northwestern North Dakota in a lignite coal seam. Laboratory and field tests conducted to date indicate that the lignite provides a viable target for CO2 sequestration while, as c

Summary Highly depleted reservoirs exhibit sharply lower pore pressures and horizontal stress magnitudes than does the overlying shaly formation. Drilling through such depleted reservoirs can cause severe fluid loss and drilling-induced wellbore inst

Selecting and designing the proper completion in naturally fractured reservoirs is always a challenge because of the mechanical and flow heterogeneities due to the fractures. Furthermore, when hydraulic fracturing is used to enhance the recovery, the

We develop a methodology to model and interpret borehole dipole sonic anisotropy related to the effect of geologic fractures, using a forward-modeling approach. We use a classical excess-compliance fracture model that relies on the orientation of the

The cost of well construction can dramatically exceed budget if the drilling operations are plagued by wellbore instability problems, and excessive time and resources are needed to free stuck pipe, regain circulation, or clean the hole efficiently. A
Petrophysical analysis is a factor in a reservoir study because it provides primary input data for characterization of subsurface formations and evaluation of resources. Common petrophysical input data to a reservoir study include porosity, water sat

Drilling on top of the Mesa in the Piceance Basin presents a significant loss circulation and stuck pipe challenge to operators wanting to exploit the huge gas reserves in the area. Operators have experienced losses that exceed 4000 barrels of mud wh
