While water issues are often location- and situation-dependent, a standardized guide to water-resource management has been developed for upstream oil- and gas-production projects and operations.

This paper illustrates and discusses inherent flaws in RMs and their potential effect on risk prioritization and mitigation, addressing several previously undocumented RM flaws.

This paper presents the principles and approaches used in API RP 17N, and discusses what it is in general and why it was written. It also describes the status of its recent update.

A US oil company is using its in-house laboratory's digital imaging devices to analyze reservoir rocks in new plays to answer questions raised by complex tight oil formations that cannot be answered using routine core testing methods.

Does formation-damage coreflooding give a good representation of damage that occurs downhole? For those of us who are actively involved in coreflooding, this is a common question to be asked.

Although the wellbore is in a nonisothermal environment, heat transfer between the fluid in the wellbore and the formation is often ignored and temperature is usually assumed constant in data interpretation, which will lead to misunderstanding of the pressure profile.

The list of wells drilled using dual gradient includes one drilled in the “eastern Gulf of Mexico,” which could be more precisely described as offshore Cuba.

The impact of the development of onshore unconventional resources on the offshore sector, safety and environmental protection, and new opportunities and their technical challenges were highlights at the 2014 Offshore Technology Conference.

The Troll field is one of the largest gas producers discovered off Norway, but ensuring its long-term future required finding ways to drill wells in an increasingly fragile formation to develop its rich oil reserves.

Two years ago, as drillers approached the bottom of a deepwater well in the Lula field, they were stopped again and again by total drilling fluid losses.
