The Nini East field represents a significant drilling challenge.

Produced water is an inextricable part of the oil- and gas-recovery process, and it is by far the largest-volume waste stream associated with oil and gas recovery.

In terms of platform technologies and extraction strategies, there are fundamental differences between the North Sea and the deepwater Gulf of Mexico (GOM).

The objective of this paper is to detail how water quality and injection pressure are deduced when uncertainties of input data are considered.

Many strategies have been implemented to mitigate the problem of high water-production rates seen in mature fields.

This year has been a great year for me; I was able to play more rounds of golf than expected! I was also successful in sealing a few research collaboration agreements within the oil and gas industry.

When oil-based mud is used, the drilled formation solids (cuttings) are regarded as controlled or hazardous waste.

A novel nonaqueous-fluid (NAF) system was designed to provide stable rheological properties with a nonprogressive gel structure and very good filtration control and filter-cake quality in wells where the expected bottomhole static temperature (BHST) exceeds 400°F.

A well in the South China Sea was diagnosed by ultrasonic and temperature logging to have a well-integrity problem, forcing the operator to shut in the well because the leak created a high tubing/casing-annulus pressure.

A novel solids-free fluid-loss pill for higher-temperature reservoirs has been formulated.
