Open Forum: Technical Interest Group Presentation
Natural Gas Flow Impediments and Their Remediation
Natural gas is rapidly emerging as a premier fuel for the world economy with markedly increasing transnational trade. With proven reserves far exceeding those for crude oil, natural gas is likely to be around for centuries. However, many wells are developed with inefficient completions, and many reservoirs are exploited using ineffective wellbore-based depletion strategies. In addition, considerable controversy exists as to what constitutes an efficient completion or an effective depletion strategy.
This special session seeks to promote discussion on areas associated with flow impediments from natural gas reservoirs to the wellbore, as well as their remediation. With well-known experts in these areas as discussion leaders, the panel will challenge the audience’s preconceived ideas and understandings, while introducing some radical and innovative completion concepts. Attendees will be invited to challenge the panel and provide a healthy discussion around the subjects presented. Anyone interested in getting natural gas out of the ground in an efficient and cost effective manner should attend.
Moderator: Tony Martin, BJ Services
Topics
- What is the purpose and efficacy of using surfactants in hydraulic
fracturing treatments? Is their use beneficial, necessary, wasteful or harmful?
Can these additives be tested for in-situ effectiveness?
Dave Cramer, ConocoPhillips - Modern Concepts in Closed Chamber Testing for Natural Gas Inflow
Characteristics
Robert Hawkes, BJ Services - High liquid saturations in the near well vicinity—water or condensate
blocks; non-Darcy flow effects in the formation and the completion; wellbore
impediments—backpressure due to liquid loading.
