A previous attempt to drill an exploration well in ultradeep water in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) did not reach its objective.

This paper discusses the keys to the successful delivery and well productivity of the first seven of 40 planned wells of the BP's PSVM development.

The Papa-Terra field in the Campos basin in Brazil is identified as having an oil interval of 14.6°API in turbidite sandstones.

This paper describes the design, testing, installation, and performance of the first fully completed well using an intelligent inner completion inside an uncemented liner with openhole packers for zonal isolation.

This study develops a workflow to design a proactive workover-optimization workflow by use of genetic algorithms (GAs).

This paper explores the interplay between field development and lifecycle reservoir management.

In the kingdom of wet completion, Petrobras has just installed its first tension-leg wellhead platform, in the field of Papa Terra in 1190-m-deep water. It is going to be a revolution regarding how to operate such an installation and be able to produce the heavy oil of Papa Terra (14–17°API).

Drilling in extreme environments is helping drive advances in the oil and gas industry and presents analogs that can be mined for insight.
