Production insights, field guides, and operator wisdom from the team that built the fastest-growing app in the oil patch.
When it comes out the ground, natural gas will be mixed up with other liquid or vapor hydrocarbons and water vapor. A great deal of the vapor and liquid that is caught up in the natural gas will be re
Read more →Natural gas is often a secondary consideration when a well is first drilled and completed; the focus is more often on crude oil and other liquid hydrocarbons. However, there are wells that only or pri
Read more →Problems like parted rods and leaking tubing, while they may require a servicing unit and crew, are part of standard maintenance operations for a well. There are larger problems that may require a ful
Read more →Moving tools and equipment up and down the casing is important for locating and repairing problems in the well, as well as monitoring conditions downhole. When tools need to be run in the well, or the
Read more →Fluid is pushed up out of the formation and to the wellhead by a number of possible sources; the pressure from the formation may be enough to do it, or artificial lift may need to be used. Whatever pr
Read more →Wells may flow naturally when they are first completed, but at some point a pump will be added to aid in production. That pump can be of a few different types, but the most common variety is going to
Read more →All wells will need to be serviced at some point, either for maintenance or because there’s been a drop in production. To properly service a well, it’s necessary to have a broad understanding of the w
