Measurement-while-drilling (MWD) tools were introduced to the oil and gas industry in 1978 by what was then known as Teleco Oilfield Services (bought by Baker Hughes in 1992).

The vibration assessment of subsea systems has largely been limited to vortex-induced vibration of riser systems and unsupported pipeline spans (i.e., environmental loading) caused by flow past the outside of a riser or conductor.

Acquisition of accurate reservoir pressure data and high-quality formation fluid samples has proved difficult in cases of low reservoir permeability, extremely viscous crude oil, or unconsolidated formations with poor borehole conditions.

New challenges are cause for a heightened demand for more leadership skills. Three cutting-edge approaches to leadership development are presented alongside five methods to maximize their value.

The discrepancy between crude and natural gas prices and estimates of increasing natural gas reserves are driving companies to study small-scale gas-to-liquids plants that can tie in multiple sources or stranded gas for a greater profit.

The Grosmont pilot project uses heating expertise, carbonate knowledge, and computer modeling to tackle the challenge of producing bitumen from carbonate deposits.

The new Olympus tension leg platform (TLP) is the largest in the US Gulf of Mexico, with more than twice the displacement of the neighboring Mars TLP. It marks a leap forward in safety, improved operation time, and increased production capacity.

Twenty-eight peer-selected lecturers from various disciplines and professions share emerging trends, challenges, and technologies.

The Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition, held 30 September-2 October, highlights emerging technologies, innovation, and updates from leading-edge companies and organizations.

Saudi Aramco's new R&D centers in the US will help bridge international scientific expertise and technology.
