From October 12 to 15, 2021, the next Russian oil and gas technical conference SPE was held. This time - online.
PetroGM presented the report "Fundamental Aspects of Oilfield Development with Water Breakthrough Risks - Time for a Paradigm Change". The research is based on 4D - complex hydrodynamic and mechanical modeling, as well as the results of core studies with saturation of samples with various types of fluids. Speaker - engineer PetroGM, Ph.D. -M.Sc. - Nepop R. K.

The work gives a rather unexpected answer to the question: "How critical is the appearance of water in the reservoir for the stability of the borehole during construction and operation?" For more information, see Our Works.

Nikolay Yuryevich Smirnov, the company's Chief Engineer, also took part in the conference as the chairman of the Geomechanics section.
