  • New Era of Oil Well Drilling and Completions.Indd
    Rod Pumping White Paper D352548X012 June 2020 New Era of Oil Well Drilling and Completions — Does It Require An Innovation In Rod Pumping? Abstract A new era of oil well drilling and completions is changing the face of rod pumping forever. Horizontal drilling with multistage hydraulic fracturing often results in very challenging production conditions. Pump placement below the kick-off (i.e., in non-vertical dogleg section), frequent gas slugs, large volumes of fl owback frac sand, signifi cant fl uctuations in fl uid fl ow rates, and steep decline curves are examples of the common challenges affecting the production of horizontal wells. Even the most sophisticated conventional pumpjack with an AC motor and variable frequency drive/variable speed drive (VFD/VSD) does not have the precise rod string control required to help mitigate and resolve many of these complex rod pumping issues that are frequently associated with horizontal multistage, hydraulically fractured wells. Linear pumping units, and more specifi cally linear hydraulic pumpjacks, have fundamental differences in geometry and control capabilities. Coupled with the fact that both natural gas and AC drive units support the same functionality, linear hydraulic pumpjacks provide the sophisticated rod string control required by today’s demanding wells. This paper will compare and contrast the different rod pumping methods and their abilities to address these production challenges. The paper will also discuss the additional benefi ts of combining the unique capabilities of a linear hydraulic pumpjack with sophisticated optimization control and remote access. The combination of these three key features provides an unprecedented solution that has the potential to become the next-generation rod pumping technology for cost effectively producing today’s challenging wells.

  • The Great Shale Shut-In Is Underway, but Questions Linger on Long-Term Impact
    Exclusive The great shale shut-in is underway, but questions linger on long-term impact Allison Good, Bill Holland, Corey Paul, Mark Passwaters 2,177 words 8 June 2020 SNL Canada Energy Week PWCAN Issue: 110130 English Copyright © 2020 by S&P Global Market Intelligence, a division of S&P Global Inc. All rights reserved. A pumpjack near Oklahoma City on April 21. Thousands of oil wells are shut in across the most prolific shale basins in the U.S., an unprecedented situation caused by the coronavirus-fueled crash in oil prices and a massive supply glut.Source: AP Photo U.S. shale drillers needed to slash oil production fast and deep as the coronavirus pandemic vaporized demand, tanked prices and left the world awash in unwanted crude. Natural production declines from spending cuts and canceled drilling plans were not anticipated to be enough to avoid hitting the physical limits of oil storage capacity, a potential crisis that caused benchmark crude oil futures to plunge into negative territory in April. So oil and gas companies large and small ranked their assets, well by well, and chose which ones to keep pumping, which ones to throttle back and which ones to shut down, maybe for good. It was, for many, a brutal calculus that resulted in thousands of wells getting shuttered in the country's most prolific oil provinces, and it created a great experiment involving well operations and geology that those inside and outside the industry are watching closely. "We just tromped on the brake pedal with both feet and slowed down production dramatically, such that it looks like we are going to get through" veteran Midland-based oilman Kyle McGraw said in an interview.

    TECHNICAL REPORT April 22, 2018 Alberta Upstream Oil & Gas Methane 2019 Emissions Inventory and Methodology Prepared For: Alberta Energy Regulator Suite 1000, 250 – 5th Street SW Calgary, Alberta T2P 0R4 Prepared by: Clearstone Engineering Ltd. 700, 900-6th Avenue S.W. Calgary, AB, T2P 3K2 Contact: Yori Jamin, M.Sc., P.Eng. E-mail: [email protected] Website: www.clearstone.ca DISCLAIMER While reasonable effort has been made to ensure the accuracy, reliability and completeness of the information presented herein, this report is made available without any representation as to its use in any particular situation and on the strict understanding that each reader accepts full liability for the application of its contents, regardless of any fault or negligence of Clearstone Engineering Ltd. i EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report presents a detailed inventory of 2018 methane emissions from the upstream oil and natural gas (UOG) sector in Alberta, and delineates the boundaries, methodologies and data sources used. The type and quality of emissions, activity and infrastructure data available for use in this emissions inventory has improved and enables a progressively more refined assessment compared to previous inventories for the UOG sector (ECCC, 2014). The updated inventory is intended for use by the Alberta Energy Regulator (AER) and its evaluation of methane emissions from the UOG sector. As such, inventory refinements and boundaries considered in this report focus on subsectors and activities contributing the most to UOG methane emissions. This effort may also inform Canada’s National Inventory Report submission to the UNFCCC Secretariat. Moreover, software tools developed by this project may be leveraged to establish a methane baseline (for 2012 and/or 2014 inventory years) and demonstrate achievement of provincially and federally stated methane reduction targets.

  • Oil and Gas Management, Including the Reasonably Foreseeable Development Scenario (Appendix G of the EIS)
    Supplemental Information Report Horizontal Drilling Using High Volume Hydraulic Fracturing Appendix B Appendix B: Oil and Gas Management, including the Reasonably Foreseeable Development Scenario (Appendix G of the EIS) Oil and Gas Management This appendix contains an evaluation of the reasonably foreseeable future development for oil and gas resources under the Wayne. The Division of Mineral Resources of the Milwaukee Field Office Bureau of Land Management prepared this Reasonably Foreseeable Development Scenario for the WNF, completing it in January 2004. Lease-specific oil and gas Notifications and Stipulations, which may be added to the standard BLM lease terms for specific parcels that might be leased on the WNF, are listed in Appendix H of the Plan. Reasonably Foreseeable Development Scenario for Oil and Gas Increased national demand for energy has increased the price producers receive at the wellhead. Consequently there is increased industry interest in drilling wells on federally owned surface in the WNF. Federally owned surface in the WNF overlies a mix of mineral estate that is classified as either federal, reserved, outstanding, or a combination thereof. Based upon a survey of local oil and gas producers, a forecast of the total number of new wells and associated surface disturbance that will likely occur on federal surface over the next 10 years, regardless of mineral classification, is shown in the following table for each of the three organizational units of the Forest Table G - 1.

  • How Texas Law Promoted Shale Play Development
    How Texas Law Promoted Shale Play Development By Bill Kroger, Jason Newman, Ben Sweet, and Justin Lipe In 2015, Baker Botts celebrated its 175th anniversary. The firm’s energy practices date back to Spindletop (1901). More than one hundred years later, Texas remains a leading producer of oil and gas in the United States, and Baker Botts represents many of the energy companies that have revolutionized the industry with horizontal drilling in the Texas shale plays. In this article, four Baker Botts attorneys summarize developments in Texas law that have caused Texas to be a leader in oil and gas production. he production of oil and gas from shale plays in the past ten years, much of it in TTexas, has transformed the economies of the world. Hydrocarbons produced from the Eagle Ford and Barnett shale plays, as well as the Permian Basin and other places in Texas, have made the United States more energy independent, disrupted OPEC cartel economics, and strained oil-dependent economies from Argentina to Russia. As the supply of shale oil and gas has risen, energy prices have collapsed worldwide, lowering the cost of production for goods across the United States, reducing transportation costs for millions of Americans, and making U.S. manufacturing more competitive. Some observers argue that these transformations, while undeniably economically advantageous, have curtailed the development of renewable energy resources and contributed further to global environmental change. Texas ingenuity and technology drove the developments that led to the recovery of hydrocarbons from shale and other tight rock plays. Technical difficulties of producing hydrocarbons from shales, which have low permeabilities and vary in brittleness, had to be overcome.1 Important new technologies, such as horizontal drilling, hydraulic fracturing, and 3-D seismic imaging, allowed for this type of development.
