This paper describes an intelligent completion design installed in two deepwater wells with dual-zone stack-pack sand-control lower completions and the installation of an intermediate string to isolate the reservoir in each zone.

The semisubmersible host is the centerpiece of BP’s $9-billion Mad Dog Phase 2 project.

The appraisal results are not enough to push development forward.

TotalEnergies’ flagship ultradeep Egina field won the award at the 15th International Petroleum Technology Conference held earlier this month in Bangkok, Thailand.

The contractor will supply flowline and connectors as part of a project on the Angolan field.

The Agogo Integrated West Hub Development Project is the first new major greenfield project awarded in Angola in more than 5 years.

This paper describes an openhole wireline-logging operation in a deepwater Gulf of Mexico well in a high-pressure/high-temperature slimhole environment using water-based reservoir drilling fluid.

Results from more than 50,000 runs where shaped cutters resolved drilling issues demonstrate that, by matching the combination of cutters to the formation and the downhole conditions, it is possible to improve ROP, extend bit life, and drill longer runs for more cost-efficient operations.

The authors of this paper describe the development of a continuous monitoring solution throughout its deployment.

The deepwater US Gulf of Mexico is the template for Shell's Whale development due online in 2024.
