The authors describe the development of well-control techniques that allowed successful drilling operations in the Piloncillo Ranch lease in south Texas.

From 2009 to 2010, there was an increase in the number of well-control incidents on the Norwegian continental shelf reported to the Petroleum Safety Authority Norway (PSA).

Many offshore decommissioning costs are higher than necessary because of decisions made during the initial engineering and construction for an oil or gas field.

With a high demand for plug and abandonment (P&A) of subsea wells in the future on the Norwegian continental shelf, industry is challenged to find alternatives and rigless technologies that can make P&A operation more cost-effective and -efficient.

This paper describes the preplanning and execution of Australia’s largest subsea well-abandonment campaign to date.

As an operator approaches the end of a field’s life, the remaining value may lie predominantly in a low-cost decommissioning delivery coupled with some upside value from the retention of critical infrastructure to enable maximum regional resource recovery.
