The Offshore Technology Conference selected 15 technologies for its 2018 Spotlight on New Technology Awards. The annual awards program recognizes innovative technologies and showcases the latest advances in offshore exploration and production.

As the resources that the industry develops become increasingly challenging, access to a broader range of options and new and developing approaches allows more-efficient and -effective recovery.

Some technologies important for HP/HT have steadily developed and have seen increased uptake even throughout the downturn. These technologies have the potential to revolutionize the performance and safety of HP/HT drilling operations.

Despite a dip earlier in the year, natural-gas prices remained steady over 2017, averaging $2.99/million Btu. … Early 2018 has been a different story, however, with natural-gas prices already hitting a couple of peaks (of greater than $5/million Btu according to the Henry Hub Spot Price history).

Offshore oil-exploration drilling and testing are key for the production of oil; however, a number of associated challenges, particularly the handling of associated gas, must be overcome.

This paper presents details of the retrofit scrubber design and shows the importance of using high-efficiency separation internals.

Processing sour natural gas is a challenge. If mercaptans are present in the sour gas, the limited mercaptan-absorption capacity of the well-known alkanolamine solvents can be a problem.

In the complete paper, the authors propose a novel method to rapidly update the prediction S-curves given early production data without performing additional simulations or model updates after the data come in.

The aim of this work is to present the effectiveness of a fully integrated approach for ensemble-based history matching on a complex real-field application.

This year started at full tilt in the HSE and sustainability discipline with the Human Factors Technical Section contributing significantly to a well-attended National Academies of Science workshop in Houston.
