nanotechnology

In this paper, after a review of the fundamentals of wettability alteration, a discussion of nanomaterials used for wettability alteration is provided.

The Barzan Gas Project is a critical program to deliver natural gas to Qatar’s future industries.

This feature takes a look at the work being done by companies to improve corrosion inhibitor fluids and inhibition techniques for offshore projects.

Making hole has become a more difficult and complex operation as operators move into untapped horizons, especially deepwater and unconventional fields.

Large amounts of clay minerals are present in shale; shale’s resulting instability is a major problem while drilling.

Demand for a better way to remove carbon dioxide (CO2) from natural gas led to the creation of a new material at Rice University in Houston that does something unprecedented on the molecular scale, and might even change gas processing.

Diamond-tipped cutters are the leading edge for technology development as companies seek an advantage that will allow customers to drill faster and longer before changing bits.

This paper describes the evaluation of a nanofluid containing nanomaterials with high adsorption capacity used for asphaltene inhibition in the volatile Cupiagua Sur oil field in Colombia.

Over the next decade, the number of electrically powered subsea systems in operation around the world will increase as companies adopt new technologies to produce oil and gas offshore more efficiently.

As producers push logistical and technological limits to operate in deeper water and more remote locations, maintaining and repairing offshore structures can present a number of challenges unique to these environments. One of the costliest is corrosion.
