This paper discusses the laboratory evaluation of potential high-pressure/high-temperature (HP/HT) drilling-fluid designs considered for a deep gas exploration well in Malaysia.

This paper discusses a rigid-setting-fluid (RSF) system that has proved successful for curing severe dynamic and static losses, pumping treatments through the drillstring bottomhole assembly (BHA) (no trip out required), because of its highly controllable fast-setting properties.

Mutual understanding and respect when universities collaborate with industry is crucial. A clear policy on harmonizing innovation and higher education should be created. However, caution must be taken not to have a one-size-fits-all approach.

This paper describes the first application of clay-free IEFs in the Norwegian continental shelf (NCS), with an emphasis on an impressively low and consistent ECD contribution.

Shallow-water offshore production began before 1900 and continues to be important. Technology to maximize economic production from shallow-water fields can be adapted from onshore or deepwater technologies.

Queensland, Australia, is currently host to a number of coal-seam-gas (CSG) to liquefied-natural-gas (LNG) projects under development.

Surface jet pumps (SJPs) are simple, low-cost, passive devices that use a high-pressure (HP) fluid as the motive force to boost the pressure of produced-gas and -liquid phases.

The incredibly tight rocks that are the source of North America’s gas renaissance are off limits in Germany and France. Though Maersk drilled the first multifractured horizontal well in the North Sea in 1987, some European countries are now banning operations that have occurred legally for decades.

Drilling long horizontal wellbores and completing wells with multistage fracturing are common practices in shale-play development.

Eleven reviewers joined the elite ranks of A Peer Apart by reviewing more than 100 papers for SPE, and 3 technical editors are recognized for their efforts during 2014.
