TechnipFMC, in collaboration with Halliburton, was awarded the 2025 ICoTA Intervention Technology Award and received the 2025 Curtis Blount Outstanding Paper Award.
To enable a fully interventionless approach, a barrier-rated tubing-hanger valve has been developed to eliminate slickline intervention and minimize associated risks and operational time.
This paper aims to present thoroughly the application of subsurface safety injection valves in extremely high-temperature environments.

The purpose of hydraulic fracture modeling is to improve engineering decision-making. Success requires practical knowledge, engagement with real data, theoretical understanding, and critical thinking. The payoff is tremendous. -
Prior to proceeding with a contract to fulfil a rigless P&A campaign for Sasol in Mozambique, BiSN designed a field trial to prove the effectiveness of its bismuth plug technology. Although the technology had been used in 19 countries by BiSN for a variety of downhole applications, it had not yet been qualified for use in Mozambique.
-
The authors of this paper write that computationally coupled models enable swift, accurate, and engineered decision-making for optimal asset development.
-
A new study from Saudi Aramco shows that the answer to the industry's billion-dollar corrosion problem might be sitting in your medicine cabinet.
-
Optimizing and continually increasing efficiencies at every stage of the drilling and completion process are central themes in the papers showcased in this feature. Innovating our way through difficult times is what the oil and gas industry excels at, especially during challenging periods. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the offshore energy industry faced immense strugg…

The authors of this paper describe a project in which retrofitted autonomous inflow control devices were deployed successfully in a field to minimize water production and maximize oil recovery.
-
The authors of this paper describe a coating designed for enhanced erosion resistance for standard wire-wrapped screens that consists of ceramic or hard metal applied by plasma spraying.
-
With the higher adaptation of flow-control devices in recent years to improve flow segmentation and reduce the premature failure of sand control because of highly localized flow, flow-control-device implementation is becoming an integral part of sand-management strategy.
-
The authors of this paper propose an automated approach to sand prediction and control monitoring that improved operational efficiency by reducing time spent on manual analysis and the decision-making process in a Myanmar field.
-
This paper discusses tools and techniques used to localize a tubing leak in a horizontally completed multilateral well, identifying the bore responsible for sand production and providing relative sand quantification at differing flow rates.
