In an effort to create Web-delivered content that addresses some of the more challenging issues in the oil and gas industry, SPE is considering the implementation of PetroTalks, a platform for SPE to share major presentations from key conferences, applied technology workshops, and summits. Designed to support competency development and knowledge transfer, PetroTalks will capture presentations made by academic thought leaders and subject matter experts addressing current and future industry challenges.

The use of Ingeo™ polylactide (PLA) biopolymers for fluid diversion and other downhole fluid management applications for increasing well productivity is longstanding. New developments in these degradable biopolymers introduce faster degradation rates appropriate for low temperature wells down to 120°F. This webinar will cover PLA’s hydrolysis behavior and explain in detail how the rate of degradation can be tuned for applications requiring fast degradation at low temperatures (120-140°F) thru applications desiring slow degradation at high temperatures (~300°F). We’ll also review how different degradable biopolymer shapes including particulates, film, fiber, and molded articles lead to a wide range of end uses and performance attributes downhole.

Pore Pressure Uncertainty is one of the biggest challenges faced by drilling companies today. Despite the great advancements in the generation of new models to predict the mud weight window, pressure uncertainty  still represents a significant percentage in the total amount of nonproductive time in drilling operations. The implementation of intelligent Managed Pressure Drilling systems has proven to be an effective instrument reducing this nonproductive time by assessing the pore pressure limits while drilling and by minimizing the consequences of encountering abnormal pore pressure or unexpected downhole fluid losses by allowing a quick response to this events detecting and automatically adjusting bottomhole pressure. This webinar will go through the concept of an intelligent MPD system and how this has been implemented to assess the formation pressure limits and mitigate drilling hazards.

The promise of drilling systems automation is to increase well construction efficiency, delivering quality wells in a safe, reliable and predictable manner. This promise is achieved in part by creating a digital infrastructure that extends vertically from the drill bit to the remote enterprise, and horizontally from exploration to production. Critical to the success of automation is the unimpeded flow of quality data through this infrastructure. This presentation describes the development of a well-site automation system consisting of an open data aggregator, with networked surface and downhole sensors and real-time applications for process monitoring, advice and control.
