The most common method used for the placement of cement plugs is the balanced-plug method using drillpipe, tubing, or a combination of both.

Many good well-construction-technology papers came out last year, as well as a couple on older technologies that either had not been published earlier or had been released and were underappreciated.

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.

New challenges are cause for a heightened demand for more leadership skills. Three cutting-edge approaches to leadership development are presented alongside five methods to maximize their value.

As the industry significantly increases the number of work fronts in both the established and the new deepwater frontiers, ever-more-innovative approaches are being developed to address the challenges faced.

Many segments of the oil and gas production industry need improvements in water filtration over traditional methods.

The discrepancy between crude and natural gas prices and estimates of increasing natural gas reserves are driving companies to study small-scale gas-to-liquids plants that can tie in multiple sources or stranded gas for a greater profit.

The Grosmont pilot project uses heating expertise, carbonate knowledge, and computer modeling to tackle the challenge of producing bitumen from carbonate deposits.
