offshore

This paper provides insight into designing advanced well completions offshore West Africa with autonomous inflow control devices that enable maximizing the producing life of the wells under various challenging reservoir conditions.

Over the past 75 years, drillers have gone from the Stone Age to the Space Age when it comes to technological improvements in well construction methods. Yesterday’s crude wood and iron drilling techniques have given way to today’s video game-inspired controls and robotic assistance—much of which migrated from offshore applications. These advancements have driven costs…

Awards related to the 2024 APA round are expected to be announced in early 2025.

This paper describes the development of a comprehensive digital solution for well surveillance and field-production optimization for an offshore field consisting of four stacked reservoirs, each containing near-critical fluids.

This paper presents an automated underwater robot and a nondestructive testing eddy-current probe for alternating-current field measurement analysis of jacket main welds.

The goal of the project described in this paper was to test the added value of shear-wave velocity interpreted from underwater multichannel analysis surface waves, particularly as a propagation tool of geotechnical information.

This paper describes the design of compact carbon-capture modules, including post-combustion CO2 removal process technology, for applications on offshore facilities.

This paper presents an evaluation of the lithium potential of assets in the North Sea.

This study proposes graphene nanoplatelets as a preflush system to extend the lifetime of a conventional scale-inhibitor squeeze treatment.

Since the late 1930s, the offshore industry has advanced from the first platform in 14 ft of water to the ultradeepwater 20K era. Driven by seismic, drilling, and development breakthroughs, the industry has pushed into deeper waters, high-pressure reservoirs, and new frontiers like Guyana, continually expanding the limits of offshore exploration.
