This paper discusses the keys to the successful delivery and well productivity of the first seven of 40 planned wells of the BP's PSVM development.

The Papa-Terra field in the Campos basin in Brazil is identified as having an oil interval of 14.6°API in turbidite sandstones.

This paper explores the interplay between field development and lifecycle reservoir management.

In the kingdom of wet completion, Petrobras has just installed its first tension-leg wellhead platform, in the field of Papa Terra in 1190-m-deep water. It is going to be a revolution regarding how to operate such an installation and be able to produce the heavy oil of Papa Terra (14–17°API).

Linhua4-1 was China’s first tieback subsea development project. To develop this marginal oil field, a number of technical challenges were overcome through a series of new technologies, and their successful development and implementation.

There is an increasing need to understand the strength and durability of subsea wellheads and conductors.

This paper presents results from full-scale testing of a flexible riser equipped with embedded sensors for distributed-temperature sensing (DTS).

This paper introduces a fit-for-purpose surface-controlled formation-isolation valve (SFIV) designed for the temporary well suspension required for this strategy.

Deepwater capital expenditure is expected to more than double compared to the previous 5 year period. Douglas-Westwood also expects a continued trend toward exploration in ultradeepwaters in depths greater than 2000 m.

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.
