The National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) of the US Department of Energy (DOE) supports a wide range of research and development (R&D) projects to develop technology for enhancing deepwater capabilities and improving safety and protection of the environment.

The design of fixed offshore platforms requires a minimum clearance from the mean water level to the topsides structure. This clearance is generally referred to as an air gap.

Price competition among makers of perforating guns has gotten brutal, even by the rough standards of unconventional oil business where depressed oil prices have led to deep budget cuts.

Technology developers are working on a new ultrasonic flowmeter for drilling ­fluids aimed at obtaining better measurements than current systems with far fewer disruptions to rig systems.

Q&A with Eirik Wærness

Last month, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a long-awaited study concerning the potential impact of hydraulic fracturing on drinking water.

This work demonstrates that molecular diffusion may be a viable oil-recovery mechanism in fractured reservoirs during injection of carbon dioxide (CO2) for enhanced oil recovery (EOR).

In this paper, two different EGR methods are investigated and systematically compared in terms of efficiency.

Featuring speakers from various disciplines and professions, the program emphasizes current trends, challenges, and technology applications in the industry. The following speakers and subject areas will be presented in this year's program.

In this study, the authors use measured CO2/brine relative permeability data available in the literature to study the behavior of the data obtained for various rocks.
