The general industry perception is that, when drillstrings or casing strings exceed conventional helical-buckling criteria, they cannot be operated safely in the hole because the risk of failure or lockup is too high.

A successful field trial in which foam was used as a gas-injection conformance enhancer was implemented in the Cusiana field in Colombia.

A number of hurdles need to be overcome to reach a successful action/reaction, problem-free status in EOR operations.

The steam-assisted-gravity-drainage (SAGD) process along with an efficient steam-use process can reduce production costs and increase the oil-recovery rate. The use of real-time downhole monitoring is an effective approach to achieve this optimization.

The Diatomite reservoir in the Belridge field, California, has been under pressure-maintenance water injection to mitigate reservoir compaction and improve oil recovery.

I had the pleasure of seeing an announcement for the semisubmersible hull destined for the Jack/St. Malo project leaving a South Korean shipyard for another in Texas.

To increase the oil recovery in the Albacora field, significant water injection is required that was not considered in the initial project-development phases.

A look at techniques and technologies aimed at mitigating erosion issues from produced sand.

In the midst of enormous change, OTC retains its status as a “must attend” technical conference for petroleum engineers and scientists working around the globe.

China is regarded as a reliable customer for oil because of soaring local demand, but in recent years, it has also emerged as a global operator and provider of services.
