Other Advances In Production Technology
- Artificial Lift:
- Removing liquids from gas wells, especially coal
bed methane, allows more gas to be produced.
- Simultaneous Production, Separation & Disposal:
- New tools and techniques that will pump oil and
gas to the surface and also inject water into disposal
zone downhole.
- New Communications:
- Electronic measurement and telemetry can allow
monitoring of remote wells without driving to location
daily.
- Enhanced Oil Recovery:
- Recovering more oil from existing wells and fields.
- Well Remediation:
- Rejuvenating old wells with windows and side tracking,
expandable liners.
- Coiled Tubing:
- New materials and larger sizes being developed,
more applications being found.
- Chemistry:
- Corrosion and hydrate inhibition, solid gas dehydration
desiccants.
