This paper documents the testing, integration, and field deployment of a metal expandable packer used as an openhole toe isolation plug in a deepwater well under high-pressure, high-temperature conditions.
This paper presents an approach for safe, efficient, and cost-effective legacy well reabandonment.
This paper introduces channel stacking, a novel and efficient methodology designed to significantly improve optical gas imaging-based leak detection.

Short on skilled welders? For complex jobs like pressure-vessel seams, automation could be the key to keeping production safe, accurate, and on schedule. -
Azule’s new FPSO is the first in the world to feature a pilot carbon capture and storage unit that sequesters CO₂ from onboard gas-turbine exhaust.
-
By closely monitoring its subsea boosting system, Shell extended maintenance intervals and safely postponed pump replacement at its ultradeepwater Stones field.
-
BP called the Bumerangue discovery in the Santos Basin the company’s largest find in 25 years, and announced it had begun production from its tieback project at Argos ahead of schedule.
-
This paper reviews best practices and learnings from floating-production-unit transportation and installation, hookup, and commissioning and discusses subsea flowlines, export pipelines, and subsea-equipment installations.
-
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.
-
This study aims to use machine-learning techniques to predict well logs by analyzing mud-log and logging-while-drilling data.
-
This study presents the development of a novel modeling tool designed to predict condensate emulsions, focusing on key factors causing emulsions such as pH, solid content, asphaltene concentration, droplet size, and organic acids.
-
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.
