Drilling
This paper presents a study that confirms glass-reinforced-epoxy-lined tubing as a reliable, cost-effective solution for long-term water-injection service in moderate-salinity offshore environments.
Output is rising fast in the South American shale play and putting Argentina on a course to soon reach 1 million B/D.
This guest editorial addresses the need for high-temperature directional drilling technologies as the number of rigs used to develop next-generation geothermal wells is set to rise in the coming years.
