A project to predict how much carbon dioxide injected into an oil field is likely to remain there forever set off the US Department of Energy (DOE) on a search for faster data analysis methods.

Expandable reamers were developed to improve efficiencies and reduce risk while drilling through problematic formations in deep water and other offshore wells, where wellbore stability is a major challenge.

Poor well performance and downhole failures have a significant effect on operator profitability. To combat this, operators spent nearly USD 10 billion in 2013 on time-consuming and costly well interventions to retrieve and repair completions hardware.

Air drilling has become popular in the Marcellus and Utica shale reservoirs because of its higher rate of penetration (ROP) and less resulting formation damage.

This paper provides a review of recent technology advancements and addresses practical considerations associated with drillpipe and drillstem components for extreme drilling applications.

I had the opportunity to discuss the state of the art and the future of reservoir modeling and reservoir performance forecasting with one of the finest members of the reservoir engineering profession, professor Larry W. Lake, of the University of Texas at Austin (UT).

For US operators, new regulations from the federal government regarding hydraulic fracturing practices could not have come at a worse time.

This paper describes the measures put in place so that the mooring system of the Gryphon Alpha FPSO could be replaced and reconnected on an efficient schedule.

A deepwater field located offshore Sabah, east Malaysia, features a spar dry-tree unit (DTU) and multiple subsea-hub tiebacks to a floating production, storage, and offloading vessel (FPSO).

The Mars-B project is the operator’s sixth Gulf of Mexico (GOM) tension-leg-platform (TLP) development.
