The authors reach conclusions that the industry should define a standard testing method to improve swelling performance, including validation of repeatability, to complement existing guidelines.
This paper presents the development of an advanced simulation tool aimed at providing a better understanding of the complex fluid-displacement phenomena present in well-cementing processes.
This paper examines the effects of cement voids and microannuli on the collapse resistance of pipe/cement/pipe systems with void angles ranging from 0º to 70º.

Emerging solutions could solve current subsea pain points, while a new taxonomy system could clarify the capabilities of the expanding domain of underwater vehicles. -
This study explores enhancing gas production through a novel combination of prestimulation using a coiled tubing unit and high-rate matrix acidizing.
-
This work introduces a fast, methodical approach to detect liquid loading using easily available field data while avoiding traditional assumptions and to determine critical gas rates directly from field data.

As LNG projects sanctioned earlier this decade come onstream, a shortage of new final and pre-final investment decisions threatens to leave the project pipelines dry at a time when global LNG demand is forecast to surge over the next 15 years.
-
Rystad Energy reports that developers are increasingly turning to floating LNG to reduce costs and accelerate project timelines in response to growing gas demand.
-
Almost all rigs, platforms, and vessels have some form of cellular mobile services, fiber, or even microwave transmission. Nevertheless, all these vessels and assets are equipped with satellite connectivity capabilities.
-
The Begonia and CLOV Phase 3 subsea tiebacks are each sending production to nearby FPSOs.
-
The China National Offshore Oil Corporation said it plans to use water injection, steam huff ’n’ puff, and steamflooding to produce the heavy oil field, with peak production expected in 2026.
-
With the right internal modifications, traditional degassers can be enhanced with gas flotation for improved oily water separation. This article outlines key design considerations—including inlet and settling zones, skimming, and solids handling. Two case studies highlight lessons learned in troubleshooting and revamping degasser designs.
