The most recent hydrocarbon production boom is under way in the Middle East, and this time, the race is spilling into offshore waters.

High-tech testing is playing a bigger role than ever in helping shale producers reduce the time needed to screen out bad ideas.

Artificial intelligence may never match the human brain.

The aim of the new site is to report the positive stories about how our industry is having a beneficial impact on people’s lives.

The complete paper presents a process used to successfully implement a rig-based drilling advisory system (RDAS) across a mixed group of rig contractors.

One of the frustrating aspects of well-productivity analysis is identifying the causes of lower-than-expected production/injection during initial well lifetime. Our task is to evaluate the multivariate aspects of well design.

In the current work, a rig advisory system is developed to continually improve rate of penetration (ROP) and drilling performance. An intelligent drilling advisory system (IDAS), based on a soft closed-loop solution with multiple regression analysis has been established.

For the development of the Dvalin high-pressure/high-temperature (HP/HT) gas field in the Norwegian Sea, a completion scheme using standalone screens is planned.

Wells in deepwater reservoirs show significant rate decline with time as the result of various causes. A diagnostic tool for quantification of factors influencing well-productivity decline is presented in this paper.

Sharp reductions in operating expenses has rekindled growth and exploration in the UK North Sea, but this fragile recovery will require a continued luck in exploration drilling and a focus on holding the line on costs, which are still high.
