Systems and methods for transferring logging data from an offset well location to a target well location by adjusting the logging data to account for the difference in correlated depths between the target well and the offset well where logging data is acquired.

Systems and methods for performing steam injection operations in heavy oil formations using a fully-coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical model for improved steam penetration during the steam injection operations.

Performing steam injection operations in heavy oil formations

In some embodiments, an apparatus and a system, as well as a method and article of manufacture, may operate to determine a value of strain, such as an equivalent plastic strain, in a perforated portion of a well by applying a set of draw-down pressures to the surface of at least one perforation tunnel in the perforated portion. The perforated portion, in turn, is modeled using stress components provided by a global field model that includes the location of the well, to set boundary conditions at the surface of the well. A well drilling process and a tunnel perforating process are modeled with element removal and pressure addition for the perforated portion. Additional activity may include operating a controlled device based on the value of strain that is determined. Additional apparatus, systems, and methods are disclosed.
