In the Danish central graben, tight chalk reservoirs have been developed successfully through drilling, completion, and stimulation of long horizontal wells.

Field trials were conducted by BP on the commercial version of wired pipe with a comprehensive suite of logging-while-drilling (LWD) tools, measurement-while-drilling (MWD) functionality, and rotary-steerable- capability on two Wyoming wells in 2007.

When the first pipelines moved crude from wellhead to market in the early 1870s, it was difficult to balance the product in the line to the storage tanks at each end. If the receiving station was not ready for the crude, the sending station risked pumping too much product.

Solid-expandable tubular (SET) is widely used to patch casing and has proved to be cost effective.

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.
