To optimize the development plan of a giant carbonate reservoir offshore Abu Dhabi to extend the production plateau and improve recovery, detailed sector models were used to facilitate the large number of required simulation runs.

Oil quality and drilling-pad constraints for a viscous-oil field defined a development scheme that consisted of a waterflood line drive with horizontal producers and water-injection (WINJ) wells side by side.

The ability to predict the effect of faults on locating remaining hydrocarbon is critical to optimal well-placement, reservoir-management, and field development decisions.

As economic considerations become increasingly important and the price of oil commands decisions in relation to facilities adaptation to cater to new production schemes, it is important to know the new field development trends, grounded on integration and technology.

The big data approach will allow new types of data-driven models to bypass traditional bottlenecks. It is also expected to lead to different views of standard models, thus providing new and valuable insights in the process.

The word “broadband” is used to sell a lot of what is new in offshore seismic. It can mean different things depending on who is speaking.

Companies are using an increasing number of sound shots to gather more data in a shorter time frame.

Developing the Mad Dog discovery appeared to be high-risk because of the difficulty in mapping the subsurface because of the thick layer of salt underlying the region.

Edward E. Horton III, SPE, died on 13 August 2015 at the age of 87. He was known for his contributions to the offshore oil and gas industry and is recognized as the inventor of the tension leg platform and the spar. During the 1960s, Horton worked as a principal engineer for the ;National Academy of Sciences on the Mohole deepwater drilling project. He served in execu…

Karen Bybee, a former assistant technology editor forJPT, died 21 August 2015 in Richardson, Texas. She was 68. Bybee wrote synopses of SPE technical papers forJPT from 1997 until her retirement in 2011. Before joining the SPE staff, Bybee worked for more than 20 years with Otis Engineering/Halliburton Energy Services, designing and developing software for safety valv…
