Fracturing System Isolates and Fractures Long-Reach Horizontal Well, Maximizing Reservoir Access. Passive Seismic Survey and Applications
Low Frequency Passive Seismic survey, also called Infrasonic Passive Differential Spectroscopy (IPDS), is a unique technology for hydrocarbon reservoir detection and monitoring from the surface. The technique is based on the principles of non-linear behaviour of multiphase fluid systems in porous reservoirs. It is well-known that the relative compressibility of Hydrocarbon fluids (gas & oil) is higher than water. Microflux Control System Opens a Conventionally Inaccessible Offshore Drilling Operation in Egypt, Enhances Safety
Microflux control system delivers a system that eliminates the narrow-margin drilling problems such as lost circulation, pressure ramps, and a narrow drilling window of 0.2 lb/gal with variable mud weights and formation pressure uncertainty. It also provides a more precise method to predict and control the annular pressure profile while detecting and controlling loss and gain influxes. Last but not least, it enhances overall operational safety by gaining control of downhole events. DwC Technology
Defyer Bits, OverDrive System with TorkDrive Tool Set Casing at Planned Depth in one trip, Mitigate Losses SandAid Sand Conglomeration: Higher sand-free flow rates, Reduced water production
On the 12th of April 2012, EGAS hosted a seminar introducing Weatherford's latest SandAid Sand Conglomeration Technology. Presenting the technology was Rami Hamad, Weatherford's MENA Region Business Unit Manager. The seminar attracted the attendance of several petroleum companies such as PHPC, Wastani, Melrose, Rashpetco, Bapetco, Dapetco and Khalda Petroleum. 3D SEISMIC ACQUISTION OVER ABU QIR GAS FIELD
Fugro-Geoteam AS, one of the industry leaders in marine seismic acquisition was contracted by Edison International SpA to acquire what would turn out to be a very challenging 3D multi-azimuth seismic survey of the Mediterranean coast of Egypt in the North Abu Qir licence offshore Egypt. The North Abu Qir Concession is located 20km north of the Abu Qir gas field, which is 42 km north east of Alexandria. The survey area was approximately 350 sq. km and to be acquired with 3 azimuths of headings 000, 060 and 300 totalling approximately 1000 sq. km of acquired data. MONGOOSE PT Dual Motion Shakers Improve Performance in Western Canada SAGD Operations
''We saw immediate improvement in the quality of our solids control. MONGOOSE PT shaker performance easily justified replacing the remaining shakers; combined performance reduced our waste disposal costs by more than 40%. Moreover, our mud costs were reduced by more than 25%. Expanding in Africa is our way out
The year of 2011 has been a challenging year for most petroleum companies, but having three out of four branches located in Arab countries, which have been experiencing political and economic unrests, has further hardened the progress of Petrographics. The 100% Egyptian oil service company has been struggling this year to maintain its ambitious development plan, believing that the expansion in the African market is the best solution during this critical time. This is what Mr. Hany Abd El Halim, Chairman of Petrographics explains further in this interview.
