The United States leads the world in CCUS deployment today with approximately 80% of the world’s carbon dioxide (CO2) capture capacity, with many of the early projects driven by market economics, including the availability of low-cost supply of CO2 and demand for CO2 for enhanced oil recovery (EOR). Moreover, although the United States is currently the world leader, its 25 million tonnes of CCUS capacity represents less than 1% of the CO2 emissions from stationary sources.

​Real-time data now represents a growing stream of scores of channels of digital data being fed concurrently to numerous receiving entities in the operator's remote monitoring amenities, at contractor centers and other facilities. Analytics are applied to data channels to signal or predict deviations from expected readings that require attention. For such systems to work effectively and reliably the input data must be trustworthy.

This presentation will serve to highlight the various engineering, chemical and data-based tool at the industry’s disposal in what is referred to as the “loss circulation tool-box”. It will also highlight workflows that are based on a systematic approach to increase the likelihood of success of the solutions and hence have a positive impact on reducing Non-Productive Time.

​Matrix stimulation treatments in carbonates are generally considered to be low risk. Production increases from these treatments are routine and the "success" of these treatments are perceived to be high. However, many treatments realize only a small fraction of the true well potential. If a more rigorous evaluation criterion is used, many treatments would not be considered successful.

The emphasis in this webinar is to highlight the pronounced differences in formation damage mechanisms between unconventional versus conventional reservoirs and their implications to the immediate, intermediate and long term production. Addressing specific identified damage mechanisms can be achieved with fluids and chemical additive selection based on the specific reservoir mineralogy and the fracture surface. Discussions will be made on various region-specific damage mechanism and treatments for understanding the fluid-induced sensitivities in specific formations within North America and warning signs that damage is occurring in your fracture.
