Seven years, and we’re on track to exceed the 1.5°C target established by the Paris Agreement in 2015 to limit global warming by 2030. Instead, we may be turning up the heat to 3.0°C. And in this case, doubling the wager does not hold potential for greater rewards. A recent report addressed the costs of technologies for emissions mitigation and their likelihood of mak…

This paper discusses the results of driller stress tests and the implementation of a system that assists the operator in kick detection, space out, and preparation for well shut-in.

The last couple of years, I have highlighted efforts around remote operations of fields, smart wells, and the acquisition and integration of real-time data. This year, I have focused on recent drilling-related papers that highlight how safety and performance can be improved with more-intelligent operations.

A decommissioning project carried out by DOF Subsea on behalf of Repsol Sinopec Resources UK in the Central North Sea has achieved a 99% rate for the combined recycling and repurposing of recovered materials.

The authors describe a laboratory method for measuring cement expansion that has been used to evaluate the total bulk volume change of cement based on curing in a dry environment and in water.

This paper describes a successful U-turn trajectory test in South Texas that has created new economic project opportunities for the company and increased optionality within challenged lease spaces across the field.

The authors seek to eliminate the need for pressure testing in the evaluation of annular creep barriers by qualifying the barrier using only cased-hole log measurements.

The operator's latest deepwater platform is unlike any the company has built before—diminutive by design.

This paper discusses the results of extensive laboratory tests used for the customization of a reservoir drill-in fluid and a delayed breaker—and their field performance—for two deepwater gas-injector wells.

Teaser: This paper is intended to provide considerations for operators in developing campaigns to frame scope of work for subsea-blowout-preventer and rig-contracting strategy.
