Intelligent completions could improve many of the world’s oil and gas wells, but not all are suited to the technology. There is another option.
This paper addresses how close collaboration has enabled the development of a robust and cost-efficient solution for the Ormen Lange project by using carefully selected technology elements and an accelerated qualification process to mature them.
As Africa’s top oil producer, Libya is ramping up momentum—offering 22 exploration areas and welcoming BP back to Tripoli with a major deal.
-
Tokyo is seeking partnerships in the UAE to leverage its technologies to produce clean energy for export back to Japan. -
The Irpa gas field, Verdande oil field, and Andvare production-well tiebacks will extend the lives of the mature Aasta Hansteen and Norne fields into the late 2030s.
-
The FPSO Anna Nery is the first of two floaters set to revitalize production at the Marlim field in the northeastern part of the Campos Basin offshore Brazil.
-
This paper presents autonomous-inflow-control-device installations in multiple horizontal wells of the Singue oilfield development in Ecuador.
-
The authors of this paper show the migration of a CO2 plume within a depleted carbonate reservoir and the expected effects of CO2 saturation and pressure buildups during injection on time lapse 4D seismic for conformance monitoring.
-
The framework and success of future opportunities is reliant on the data used to quantify them, and this is something of which all mature fields have plenty. As they have delivered value throughout their life, the uncertainty associated with them reduces, and the new ideas discussed here come to light.
-
The authors of this paper describe a three-way coupled modeling approach that integrates dynamic, geochemistry, and geomechanics models to obtain cumulative effects of all three changes to evaluate future carbon dioxide storage.
-
The complete paper describes a combination of best practices and innovative techniques that help to provide rig-based and rigless opportunities by estimating potential and risk in a naturally fractured reservoir.
-
This study evaluates well integrity and CO2-leakage risk in wells penetrating a CO2 storage reservoir in Malaysia.
-
This paper presents results from evaluating the rate of thermal energy that can be extracted under various completion scenarios in end-of-life oil and gas wells using a transient flow simulator.
