Field/project development
With confidence in subsea boosting performance growing, BP is incorporating pumping systems into both greenfield developments and brownfield expansions.
New agreements for exploration and production in Africa include activity in the Orange Basin offshore Namibia, offshore Angola, Senegal, and Côte d’Ivoire. In the Gulf of Mexico, a memorandum of understanding for deepwater evaluation was signed between Woodside Energy and PEMEX and Viridien initiated its Walker Ridge Reimaging Extension. TotalEnergies provided a targe…
This paper presents an approach for safe, efficient, and cost-effective legacy well reabandonment.

SponsoredThe data that comes with mapping flow behavior at the stage level of unconventional wells was once accessible only through the installation of costly and intrusive diagnostic methodologies like fiber optic or running production logging. New-generation FloTrac ultrahigh-resolution nanoparticle tracer technology with subatomic spectroscopic measurement techniques now de…
