Drilling
The London-headquartered independent acquires position in the US Gulf while preparing Zama for final investment decision.
This study identifies critical knowledge gaps in wellbore integrity and underscores areas that require further investigation, providing insights into how wellbores must evolve to meet the technical demands of the energy transition.
This study illustrates the new capabilities, tailored for CO₂ storage applications, of a modeling framework that provides a quantitative, risk-based assessment of the long-term integrity of legacy plugged and abandoned wells.

This paper introduces a fit-for-purpose surface-controlled formation-isolation valve (SFIV) designed for the temporary well suspension required for this strategy. -
For companies working to maximize production and profits, one of the biggest questions has been, and continues to be, how manyu wells to drill per square mile.
-
Despite a short 18-month planning time and very limited geological data, the TTD-1 high-pressure/high-temperature (HP/HT) exploration well in East Malaysia’s Block SK was drilled successfully.
-
The simplest way to measure return on investment for an offshore water treatment system is to determine whether using the system actually reduces the risk of paying a fine for violating water pollution laws.
-
Drilling horizontal infill wells in the Pierce field in the UK central North Sea is challenging because of a narrow drilling window caused by depletion in a highly fractured reservoir.
-
Casing drilling is a method by which the well is drilled and cased simultaneously.
-
Managed-pressure drilling (MPD) has been used in Vietnam since 2007 to address a number of drilling and reservoir challenges.
-
In 2011, the Kuwait Oil Company (KOC) considered enhancement of equipment specifications for deep drilling rigs to integrate state-of-the-art technologies.
-
A common well-completion configuration for shale-gas wells is a horizontal well with multiple transverse hydraulic fractures.
