The complete paper provides an overview of the development of fiber-optic sensing for steam-assisted-gravity-drainage (SAGD) applications, including a review of more than 10 years of work in development and field applications in western Canada.

This paper outlines a 2-year project undertaken in a major UK continental shelf field to ensure that the safety-critical systems of five 35-year-old installations were all compliant with the relevant industry regulatory standards.

As safety leaders, we have to inspire confidence, passion, and commitment around a safety culture. A big part of that is ensuring that those around us actually view us as legitimate leaders.

First and foremost, safety leaders must build relationships of trust with those who look to them for direction and guidance in safety. This is absolutely foundational to getting others on board a safety culture.

Proforma Safety International announced a partnership with the Guyanese agency Lomak Energy Services to support the oil and gas sector with safety consulting services.

The complete paper describes a work flow in which wells and production networks in the Cheleken Block offshore Turkmenistan are automatically modeled daily with steady-state and transient tools and ultimately analyzed by the Cheleken Block Central Data Gathering System.

The complete paper describes some of the technical challenges faced in deepwater operations and the methodology adopted for implementing an integrated production surveillance and optimization (IPSO) system to mitigate the risks.

The capital intensity of energy operations provides a challenge for early-stage companies looking to stand out. What makes companies innovative, and where are the areas where venture capital is seeing the most innovation?

Lack of situational awareness in drilling operations has become an important safety factor. This study presents experiments conducted in a virtual-reality drilling simulator equipped with eye-tracking technology that can be used to distinguish between less and more aware/alert participants.

Experimentation reveals that swellable nanogels increase their size faster than expected or produce aggregation leading to serious blocking problems at the sandface. This paper studies if the addition of a surfactant can help improve injectivity.
