Huey P. Long Bridge Truss Lift Monitoring
AGI was contracted to design and install a real-time, remote monitoring system to measure truss distortions and assure overstressing or buckling of the truss does not occur during the transport, lift and setting operation.Read the complete resource

Monitoring Surface Displacement in Three Dimensions
After several unseasonably heavy rainstorms, a 105 hectare landslide
occurred at Trapper Coal Mine in northwest Colorado (see Fig 1). Fortunately, the area
was evacuated prior to the slide and no one was injured. In some areas, the slide displaced
ground more than 122 m.Read the complete resource

Evaluating Stimulation Effectiveness in Unconventional Gas Reservoirs (SPE 124843)
This paper presents production evaluation criteria that can be used to compare the overall stimulation effectiveness in unconventional gas reservoirs. Characterizing the “relative” conductivity of the fracture network and primary fracture are critical to evaluating stimulation performance. Read the complete resource

Successful Modelling of Post-Fracture Cleanup in a Layered Tight Gas Reservoir (SPE 122021)
The issue of filtrate cleanup in tight-gas wells following a hydraulic fracture treatment has long been a topic of discussion in the industry. At one extreme, there is the possibility of a “water block” in which filtrate fluid prevents gas production completely. Read the complete resource
