This is the last column I will write before the end of my tenure, and I could not think of a better subject to discuss than volunteerism in our global society.

Despite a short 18-month planning time and very limited geological data, the TTD-1 high-pressure/high-temperature (HP/HT) exploration well in East Malaysia’s Block SK was drilled successfully.

The vibration assessment of subsea systems has largely been limited to vortex-induced vibration of riser systems and unsupported pipeline spans (i.e., environmental loading) caused by flow past the outside of a riser or conductor.

This paper gives an overview of the latest developments in how advanced finite-element-analysis (FEA) tools are used to verify, optimize, and validate ultra-HP/HT completion and production tools.

Acquisition of accurate reservoir pressure data and high-quality formation fluid samples has proved difficult in cases of low reservoir permeability, extremely viscous crude oil, or unconsolidated formations with poor borehole conditions.

Since 2008, Pennsylvania has seen a dramatic shift away from conventional drilling. For that year, 4,511 conventional and 300 unconventional wells were drilled.

Ever since its pioneer Renz No. 1 well, recompleted to target the Marcellus shale in October 2004, Range Resources has led trends in the play’s activity. If this holds true, the Marcellus is in for a surge in liquids-rich development.

When drilling offshore wells, the most common method is to drill with a single gradient fluid with the fluid column extending from the bottom of the well back to the drilling rig.

Intelligent completion systems have the ability to monitor and optimize reservoir performance in real time without mechanical intervention.

Government, industry, and labor representatives met recently to discuss solutions to the technical skills shortage in the global oil and gas industry. Although the discussion was wide-ranging, the group came to a consensus on several key points.
