The following three papers show challenges and potential solutions across various stages of the deepwater well-development cycle from a variety of deepwater basins across the world.
The authors describe a study on key technologies for intelligent risk monitoring of workover operations.
This paper establishes that the use of a dual-gradient fluid column during the running of large casing in an extreme-reach deepwater well is an effective method to overcome drag and enable the casing to reach total depth.
