“Big data,” once only the concern of database geeks or a marketing technique among retailers, is now part of our mainstream consciousness and vocabulary.

Determining the fluid properties of a reservoir by using pressure/volume/temperature (PVT) analysis is essential to petroleum reservoir studies, production equipment design, and reservoir recovery efficiency estimation.

Many operators have a register of flanged connections identified as having fitted stud bolts below acceptable standards and, on many occasions, in critical condition requiring urgent attention.

A critical part of any oilfield production processing is oil and water separation. Although some highly effective demulsifier products for this purpose have been developed for a number of production scenarios, the application of demulsifiers to “heavy” oils remains problematic.

Signs point to sustained strong oil prices this year, levels that will continue to support upstream unconventional projects in North America and elsewhere.

For this column, I have elected to do a book review on Risk Society by Ulrich Beck in which he argued that we are in the midst of a major cultural change in Western society.

Produced water is an inextricable part of the oil- and gas-recovery process, and it is by far the largest-volume waste stream associated with oil and gas recovery.

In terms of platform technologies and extraction strategies, there are fundamental differences between the North Sea and the deepwater Gulf of Mexico (GOM).

The objective of this paper is to detail how water quality and injection pressure are deduced when uncertainties of input data are considered.

Many strategies have been implemented to mitigate the problem of high water-production rates seen in mature fields.
