Advances in geothermal drilling: A comparative study with oil and gas techniques
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2025)Geothermal energy is an essential clean and renewable resource that is reliable and has large reserves that are not impacted by the weather or the seasons. However, there are many barriers in the way of drawing heat out ... -
Effect of drill string lateral vibrations on wellbore stability and optimal mud pressure determination
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2025)Wellbore instability is a critical issue in drilling operations, contributing to significant non-productive time and costly delays. While previous studies have focused on physicochemical and mechanical causes of wellbore ... -
The effect of hydrocarbon prices and CO2 emission taxes on drainage strategies
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Secondary recovery methods, such as water and gas injection, are effective and cost-efficient techniques for enhancing hydrocarbon recovery; however, they are highly energy-intensive, leading to a large environmental ... -
The effect of temperature on the sealability of bismuth–tin alloy plugs
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Innovative solutions for plugging oil and gas wells are becoming increasingly important to ensure safe operations, save costs, and guarantee that the wells are sealed with a long-term perspective. Among these innovations, ... -
The effect of well temperature on the microstructure and the mechanical performance of bismuth-based plugs in well plugging and abandonment operations
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Bismuth-tin (BiSn) alloys are considered promising candidates as potential alternatives to cement for well plugging and abandonment (P&A) applications to prevent any uncontrolled flow of deep reservoir fluids to the surface. ... -
Energy efficiency of oil and gas production plant operations
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The exploitation of subsurface resources is an energy-intensive activity leading to substantial emissions. The main energy consumer for hydrocarbon production is gas compression and pumping. In this article, we investigate ... -
Experimental study of volumetric sand production with gas flow
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)The presence of sand in a production stream has been a common issue for wells drilled in high permeability sandstone formations. In the case of gas producing reservoirs, sand production can be particularly hazardous due ... -
Joint well-placement and well-control optimization for energy-efficient water flooding of oil fields
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Hydrocarbon production driven by water flooding is energy-intensive. This paper presents well-placement and joint well-placement-and-control optimization studies with objective function taking into account emissions, ... -
A Review of Intelligent Decision-Making Strategy for Geological CO2 Storage: Insights from Reservoir Engineering
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)In a world characterized by a heavy reliance on fossil fuels, it becomes imperative to strike a harmonious balance between energy demands and carbon mitigation. This article delves into the practice of injecting carbon ... -
Well integrity and late life extension - A current industry state of practice and literature review
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Well integrity is an integral part of every phase of the well’s lifecycle. During the operational phase, well integrity monitoring and control is intended to reduce the risk of failures from degradation mechanisms so as ...
