In oil and gas drilling operations, well control has always been the core aspect of safety management. Although the well control theory, operation norms, and equipment system are already quite…

Human mistake remains the top factor that leads to incidents, production losses, and unplanned downtime in oil and gas operations, together with other contributors, among them technical failures. Even though…

In the oil and gas production system, pipeline transportation is a crucial link that connects upstream production with downstream processing, storage, transportation, and end-users. Compared to drilling and well completion…

As the oil and gas industry increasingly demands safety, efficiency and standardization, traditional training methods (classroom lectures, video demonstrations, on-site shadowing) have become increasingly unable to meet the actual operational…

Cost reduction has now become a pressing urgency in the shale gas drilling industry, driven by volatile gas prices, increased capital discipline, and rising operational complexities. But it is not only for…

Multilateral wells are able to tap into the whole reservoir, as well as the surface area they occupy, which is very beneficial. However, the upside of the multilateral system translates…

During the entire life cycle of an oil and gas well, Well Intervention (well repair/underground intervention operations) is a crucial step for restoring production capacity, extending well life, and addressing wellbore…

In oilfields or geological research institutes, this phrase often marks the beginning of a journey of underground exploration. Well logging data, hailed as “the geologist’s eyes,” is the most crucial…

Shale oil drilling and conventional drilling are essentially different from each other in their technical and operational models, although both are aimed at crude oil production. These differences will be reflected in…

Coiled tubing operations are characterized by strict tolerances, constantly changing well conditions, and very little margin for error. With the increasing size, length, and complexity of wells, operational risks cannot…

Operator training is an essential factor in the oil and gas industry when it comes to safety, production stability, and incident prevention. The more complicated the operating systems, the greater…

With the continuous increase in the production of shale gas and shale oil, the drilling operations are more complicated in terms of engineering  challenges than those in the case of…
