Are You Ready to Fuel Your Mind?
GATE Energy was founded with the mission of doing things right the first time. This simple yet powerful mission drove us to build processes and systems that have allowed us to hire, train, and develop graduate engineers into industry recognized subject matter experts and thought leaders.
Our Technical Blog Gives You Access To:
On-demand training videos developed by our industry experts
Easy-to-use simulation tools that will provide an 80-20 solution for typical production monitoring and optimization workflows
Technical articles and abstracts centered around energy industry knowledge and lessons learned
We want to do our part and make sure that new decision makers have the right tools, guidance, mentors, and coaches to help them make the right decision the first time, every time.
Casing Damage & Failures During Fracturing Course
Casing damage and failures during fracturing.
VME Stress Calculator
This calculator calculates the triaxial stress (VME) at a given depth.
Stretch Calculator
This calculator calculates the change in length of pipe hanging in the hole due to tension, ballooning, buoyancy and thermal effects.
Buckling Calculator for Vertical Wells
This calculates AP collapse resistance for a specific pipe.
Common Failures In Oil And Gas Wells
This information provides insight to aid in preventing common failures and improving industry practices to reduce incident rates in addition to saving time and money.
Liquid Loading In A Horizontal Shale Gas Well: Prediction, Prevention & Remediation
This GATEKEEPER article focuses on the prediction, prevention and remediation of liquid loading, including discussion of liquid loading analysis.
Collapse Strength Of Casing Subjected To Combined Load
Casing and tubing that are subjected to combined loads have higher collapse strength than previous formulas would predict, permitting the use of thinner walled, or lower strength, pipe than formerly required.
Collapse Strength of Casing Subjected to Combined Load
Triaxial evaluation of loads is used extensively for casing and tubing string design and analysis. The paper presents a method of determining the triaxially based collapse strength of casing and tubing subjected to simultaneous axial and internal pressure loads.
Wellbore Thermal and Mechanical Fingerprinting
A method is presented such that two parameters can be used to fully describe the thermal characteristics of a tubing string undergoing an injection or production process.
Real World Implementation of QRA Methods in Casing Design
This paper was prepared for presentation at the SPE Applied Technology Workshop on Risk Based Design of Well Casing and Tubing held in The Woodlands, Texas, U.S.A., 7-8 May 1998.
Designer Casing for Deepwater HPHT Wells
Deepwater high pressure, high temperature (HPHT) drilling environments present difficult challenges to well engineers.
LRFD Derived Performance of a Qualified API Connection Population
This work is a discussion of how the limit performance is being defined and quality systems are being revised for API connections in accordance with the objectives of the LRFD method for OCTG.
Annular Pressure Buildup: What It Is and What To Do About It
When tubing heated by hot formation fluids contacts colder fluids entrapped in the annulus, the result is fluid heating and pressure buildup. Proper well design is critical in subsea wells.
Advanced Technology Solutions for Next Generation HPHT Wells
This paper describes research efforts and technology development associated with the next generation of high pressure, high temperature (HPHT) well designs.
Downhole Tubing & Casing Material Selection: Offshore Production Wells
Material selection is a nuanced process. A primary assessment based on environmental and operating conditions enables identification of outright inappropriate materials and allows a general selection to be made.
