Drilling
Operators aren’t rushing to drill, even as the closure of the Strait of Hormuz drives oil prices up.
This paper presents the first global application of autonomous drilling in deepwater and the journey to reach optimal drilling parameters, integrating proprietary tools from the project’s business partners.
This paper describes the evolution of the operator’s initial PWC (perforate, wash, and cement) abandonment projects performed in deepwater Brazil.

A common well-completion configuration for shale-gas wells is a horizontal well with multiple transverse hydraulic fractures. -
This paper describes the evaluation of a nanofluid containing nanomaterials with high adsorption capacity used for asphaltene inhibition in the volatile Cupiagua Sur oil field in Colombia.

Historically, invert-emulsion drilling fluids are the preferred system for drilling offshore Cameroon. However, with a regulatory environment moving toward zero discharge, associated costs are rising.

Deepwater cementing becomes increasingly challenging as drilling operations move to greater water depths and more-remote locations.

ADMA-OPCO had integrity problems in one of its gas wells, and abandonment was the only option available to restore the integrity of the offshore multiwell jacket and revive adjacent wells.

Determining the fluid properties of a reservoir by using pressure/volume/temperature (PVT) analysis is essential to petroleum reservoir studies, production equipment design, and reservoir recovery efficiency estimation.
