Well Intervention: Ensuring Optimal Well Productivity
Well intervention involves performing downhole operations on oil and gas wells to sustain, restore or improve production performance. As wells age, their productivity declines due to damage to the formation face or downhole equipment, scale buildup, water or gas coning etc.

Well Completion Equipment and Services Play a Vital Role in Oil and Gas Production
Casing and tubing are crucial completion equipment used in oil and gas wells. Casing is installed during the drilling process to maintain the integrity of the borehole and isolate productive zones from surface aquifers and other geological formations.

Oil and gas regulators investigating swarm of earthquakes near #OklahomaCity overnight, early Saturday; largest a 4.3 magnitude
January 12, 2024
"The increases in both frequency and severity of earthquakes have widely been blamed on saltwater disposal operations associated with oil and natural gas production.
"Many of the earthquakes were occurring in swarms in areas where injection wells were pumping salty wastewater — a byproduct of oil and gas production — deep into the earth."

With wastewater injection sparking swarms of small quakes, some states are taking notice of the danger
by Sarah Zielinski
July 3, 2014
"In the new study, Katie M. Keranen, a geophysicist at Cornell University, and colleagues tallied up earthquakes that were part of a swarm that started near Jones, Oklahoma in 2008. This swarm accounts for about a fifth of the recorded quakes in the region, which have increased 40-fold from 2008 to 2013 as compared to 1976 to 2007. The researchers then created a computer model that showed how pressures from nearby injection wells were affecting seismicity.
[...]
"Some of the earthquakes have occurred as far as 35 kilometers (21 miles) from the injection wells, much farther away than scientists had previously thought such quakes were possible. They also found that as time passes, the region of increased pressure from those wells continues to grow. If that zone intersects with a large fault, the pressure could set off a larger earthquake.
“The increasing proximity of the earthquake swarm to the #Nemaha fault presents a potential hazard for the #OklahomaCity metropolitan area,” the researchers write. That fault, which runs from Oklahoma City north to Lincoln, Nebraska, is capable of hosting a magnitude-7 #earthquake, they note."

Happy dance over here!!! Otter Coast: A Medical Marijuana Mystery... Join in on the book party... because my second eco-fiction novel is ready for you! Read a review, buy & read, add a starred review!
As architectural intern Amalia Sengupta Erenwine grapples with her nascent career in New York City and the consequences of her new relationship, her friend the Reverend Mildred McCaine plans a panel about medical marijuana at her Binghamton church. When these two women take off on a road trip back to Mildred's hometown, they each in their own way intend to prove themselves pure of intent and unencumbered by their pasts. Amalia hopes to demonstrate she's true to her word and figure out her love life, and Mildred is drawn to confront fuzzy details about her family's past. But when the women uncover mysterious goings-on at Mildred's childhood home, an intriguing ancient artifact, and long-forgotten memories of otters at play, their fine intentions come unraveled. How will Amalia reconcile her deeper knowing with her life's goals? And how will Mildred remember and come to terms with her family's history, and her own present and new unfolding?

Hersov talks up shale gas; peanuts get thrown

3 Good Things, Monday!
1. My art open house (drop in by appointment) is going well! Have sold a few pieces so far (all Reiki-infused and inspired), and more appointments scheduled prior to December 24th. In the photo I've attached, you'll see one of my paintings in the background behind all the text of the book cover for my new novel (see number 2 below). :-)
2. I am on track for publishing my second novel (Otter Coast, a medical marijuana mystery!) on the Winter Solstice. A funny day perhaps in light of the timing with holiday sales (it is not in time for people to order paper copies for Christmas and have them arrive, but e-books will be in time); it feels right, so I'm going for it. Also, as you'll see from the photo of the book cover design in progress, we have lots of Lorem Ipsum text to be replaced. I love Lorem Ipsum text, makes me feel like clean dishes, clean sheets, new opportunities. :-)
3. I'm getting closer to solving some work-related architecture and engineering design challenges which are always intriguing to me. Although I can't talk about work-work, I can say that in novel number 1 (The Erenwine Agenda---a love story that centers on fracking---which I am ALSO reissuing on the Solstice, in my given name, Maia Chowdhury) and in novel number 2, there is lots of workplace drama of the highest caliber! 🙂
Now, back to said Day Job. 🙂

Two decades after the advent of fracking, a growing number of studies are pointing to a link between gas wells and health problems, particularly among children and the elderly. Researchers are now calling for new regulations restricting where wells can be located.
