A 100% fully mechanical rotary-steerable tool has been developed specifically for the high-volume drilling market, providing full 3D directional control while under full rotation of the drillstring from surface.

Paraffin wax precipitation and deposition is one of the pervasive nuisances in oil industry operations worldwide, with wax deposits creating problems from the wellhead to the refinery.

This paper describes functional water-treatment steps that target the most common removal of suspended solids and oil or condensate from Produced-water (PW) and flowback-water (FW) for recycling or disposal operations.

The Piceance basin in western Colorado is a long-term play expected to produce for another 20 years or more.

The demands for fresh water used in hydraulic-fracturing operations are placing constraints on water resources in some regions of the United States. Along with higher acquisition costs for fresh water, produced-water-disposal costs also have increased.

The recent introduction of a new rolling-cutter polycrystalline-diamond-compact (PDC) bit that uses 360° of the diamond edge has delivered positive results in field trials.

Conventional drilling through lower intermediate intervals in the southern portion of the Alpine field on Alaska’s North Slope has posed significant challenges.

In this column, I will describe the challenges and opportunities that our members and the exploration and production (E&P) industry face.

This paper presents the results of a laboratory investigation in which treatment processes were evaluated as treatment methods for produced water (PW) from different oil and gas fields.

As the technologies adopted by the industry to optimize drilling campaigns have evolved, the equipment used in the pipeline testing process has improved as well.
