Smart Well Technology From Ontology to Application Smart Well can be defined as a technology actually pertinent to complimentary equipment, monitoring the wellbore properties, collecting, transmitting or analyzing well and reservoir production data, then taking measures regarding segregating the well, sealing portions of the wellbore, and regulating the flow. These measures are carried out in a bid to enhance well ...

A new phenomena named “digitalization” is changing the world and attempts to improve the lifestyle. Artificial intelligence (AI), Big data, Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality, Internet of Things (IoT), automation, Cloud computing, and other technologies brought by digitalization are penetrating in all industries and resulting in the revolutions. Petroleum industry is not an exception. This industry is facing a new ...

Melika Mohammadpour BD Expert   Technological and structural changes in the global economy and in the energy sector are among the requirements to diversify analytical studies of the energy economy, management and investment in industries, especially the oil industry. The upstream segment of the oil industry includes studies and actions related to exploration, drilling, exploitation, conservation of oil resources, transfer, ...

Dr. Mohammad Ali Emadi, Deputy in Upstream Development Pasargad Energy Development Company How far are E&P companies from where they must be and how must this distance be covered in short- and long-term programs? Based on the needs of our country, a paradigm shift has been started for several reasons. One of these reasons is the changes in production conditions ...

A rig resembles to a factory which is manufacturing oil & gas well. Similar to a factory, a rig should have a systematic approach and plan to keep the factory running with minimum NPT. Parameters which can be defined to evaluate performance of a machine is called efficiency. Efficiency is the ratio of the useful work performed by a machine ...

Oil and gas industry has always been pioneer in implementation of Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) culture among its workers due to a very high-risk atmosphere comparing other industries like food, medicine, manufacturing, etc. Drilling is known as one of the most dangerous environments because of its congested area and heavy-duty equipment such as top drive, Blowout Preventer (BOP), winches, ...

Cementing is one of the most influential services on the lifetime and integration of wells. During cementing, annulus between casings/liners and well is filled with cement slurry having specific and designed features tailored for the existing conditions. After being hardened, the cement slurry plays different roles including protection of weak formations and casings against the imposed stresses and tension as ...

Investigation and measurement of produced oil, gas and water from wells play an important role in reservoir management and production enhancement. Though the well testing is an essential and beneficial operation, achieving accurate data in appropriate period of time could be challenging due to some reasons. The well testing operation is usually performed by means of test separators and other ...

There are many different methods to increase the efficiency of oil & gas wells production that along with progress and expansion of science have under gone changes and development. Radial Jet Drilling is a technique which utilizes hydraulic jet energy of fluids to drill lateral holes inside the reservoir. At present time in Iran, the rate of production has decreased ...

Since the day mankind started digging wells on earth in search of hydrocarbon resources, they have been struggling with the phenomenon of uncontrolled well blowout. Over the past hundred years, it has been repeated again and again, causing extensive damage to the environment and to the tools and work force. With the increasing depth of wells drilled in different parts ...
