“…Also, along with the development of information technology, the operation and management in oil fields are facing a new revolution [10]. Nowadays, the phrase "smart/intelligent oil fields [11]" or "oil and gas 4.0 [12]" denote the undergoing revolution in oil fields. Nonetheless, there is ambiguity not only on their incremental benefits but also on the criteria and conditions of applicability technical and economicwise [13].…”

Aiming to provide a novel paradigm of oil fields, metaverses-based parallel oil fields are proposed in this article. Compared with the existing smart/intelligent oil fields in cyber-physical systems (CPS), parallel oil fields can take human factors into full consideration and expand the operation space to cyber-physical-social systems (CPSS), which can be regarded as the abstract and scientific explanation of metaverses. In the proposed parallel oil fields, there are three kinds of workers (human workers, digital workers, and robotic workers) coordinating to construct a more reliable and intelligent oil field. Furthermore, the framework and methodology of parallel oil fields are illustrated by parallel systems and the artificial systems, computational experiments, and parallel executions (ACP) approach. Based on the proposed framework, parallel oil fields are capable of generating a more trustworthy artificial system and guaranteeing the realization of the 6S (safety, security, sustainability, sensitivity, service, and smartness) goal. Finally, based on dynamometer cards, fault diagnosis of sucker rod pumping systems (SRPS) is investigated in parallel oil fields.

The Cement Packer approach has been successfully implemented to pursue and monetize minor gas reservoirs of poorer quality. Due to its critical role in power supply to meet the nation's needs, license to operate gas fields oftentimes come with contractual obligations to deliver a certain threshold of gas capacity. The cement packer method is a cheaper alternative to workovers that enables operators to build gas capacity by monetizing minor gas reservoirs at lower cost. Group 1 reservoirs are the shallowest hydrocarbon bearing sand with poorer reservoir quality and relatively thin reservoirs. The behind-casing-opportunities in Minor Group-1 reservoirs previously required a relatively costly pull-tubing rig workover to monetize the reservoir. Opportunities in two wells were optimized from pull –tubing rig workovers to a non-rig program by implementing Cement Packer applications. The tubing was punched to create tubing-casing communication and cement was subsequently pumped through the tubing and into the casing. The hardened cement then acted as a barrier to satisfy operating guidelines. The reservoir was then additionally perforated, flow tested and successfully monetized at a lower cost. Tubing and casing integrity tests prior to well entry demonstrated good tubing and casing integrity. This is critical to ensure that cement will only flow into the casing where the tubing was punched. Once the cement hardened, pressure test from the tubing and from the casing indicated that the cement has effectively isolated both tubulars. Subsequent Cement Bond Log and Ultrasonic Imaging Tool showed fair to good cement above the target perforation depth. These data supported the fact that the cement packer was solid and the reservoir was ready for additional perforation. Taking into account the reservoir quality, it was decided to perforate the reservoir twice with the biggest gun available to ensure the lowest skin possible. Post perforation, there was a sharp increase in the tubing pressure indicating pressure influx from the reservoir. Despite that, casing pressure remained low, confirming no communication and thus the success of the cement packer.The well was later able to unload naturally due to its high reservoir pressure, confirming the producibility of the reservoirs and unlocking similar opportunities in other wells. Additionally, the cement packer approach delivered tremendous cost savings between $6 – 8 mil per well. Besides confirming the reservoirs' producibility,the success also unlocked additional shallow gas behind casing opportunities in the area.This method will now be the first-choice option to monetize any hydrocarbon resources in reservoirs located above the top packer.
