The Shengli Oilfield, under China Petrochemical Corporation (Sinopec Group), the country's largest oil refiner, achieved this breakthrough by using an intelligent drilling fluid monitoring system and smart drill bits. During shale oil extraction, high drilling pressure can create cracks in the formatio...
The volume of crude being pumped out of Texas recently saw its first monthly dip in a year. Oil well productivity in Texas's Permian Basin—the country's largest oil field—is falling, and the number of drilling rigs operating in the U.S. has declined for six straight weeks. ...
The technology innovation team of the Shengli Oilfield overcame difficulties in exploration such as high temperature, high pressure, and simultaneous seepage in shale oil reservoirs. They have developed a fast drilling technology centered on synthetic-based drilling fluid systems, enabling efficient drilling...
Optimization and practice of drilling design for Gulong shale oil development test 【摘要】古龙页岩油与国内外陆相页岩油相比,陆相淡水沉积环境的青山口组黏土矿物体积分数较高,且多孔多缝,呈纹层状结构,易发生层间散裂、性脆,易吸水膨胀垮塌,独特的地质特性给古龙页岩油钻井带来了巨大挑战。针对钻井过程中容易出...
Prior to 2010, the production focus for the Eagle Ford was natural gas. Then, as the focus shifted to the more profitable oil portion of the play, the oil production rate exploded. Graph prepared using data from the Texas Railroad Commission. Eagle Ford Shale Drilling Permits Issued by ...
