Drilling
This edition highlights three offshore technology papers that address a common industry theme: how targeted engineering solutions can reduce uncertainty, shorten operations, and make technically constrained offshore well activities more executable.
This paper aims to establish a set of best practices for generating particle-size-distribution data from core samples.
This paper discusses the successful execution of two openhole gravel-pack completions in two Gulf of Mexico fields with depleted reservoirs.

Changes in our industry have accelerated at a dramatic rate in an array of key technologies. Some of these initiatives have been under way for years and are familiar themes to SPE readers: artificial intelligence, automated decision making, data analytics, and visualization to name a few. Papers selected for this feature were chosen to highlight some of these areas of…

The authors describe a platform that integrates advanced data analytics and hydraulic modeling in real time for managed-pressure-drilling applications.
-
Equinor will use the semisubmersible rig Transocean Enabler, which is already under contract, for the work planned for later this year.
-
Combination announced last November must still gain clearance from authorities in the UK and Denmark.
-
Drilling is set to take place near the location where the Toyko-based energy company said it encountered a gas reservoir in a 2016 project.
-
The paper highlights two case studies to illustrate successful development of marginal prospects to unlock remaining potential.
-
The authors describe a study in which leakage-rate modeling was performed to identify and evaluate the associated risks for designing a remedial action plan to safeguard a CO2 storage site.
