Production
Updates about global exploration and production activities and developments.
In the wake of the falling number of exploratory wells in the country, Brazil-owned Petrobras addressed audience concerns as well as outlined new avenues for production at the Offshore Technology Conference.
This paper describes the use of coiled tubing in a pilot project for carbon dioxide injection, enabling evaluation of the conversion of an existing oil field for CCS purposes and derisking storage-development uncertainties before having to cease hydrocarbon production.
-
A new program offers an affordable way to figure out if salt precipitation could be behind underperforming gas wells and suggests a path to higher production. -
A slate of new pipeline projects are expected to help relieve the oil-rich region's associated gas bottleneck.
-
Enverus claims hundreds of millions of barrels of gas condensates are nowhere to be found in public data due to a major reporting gap.
-
The first acid job dates to 1895. Challenges remain, however, when it comes to lithology, coverage, penetration, and management of reaction products. These themes remain a focus for stimulation engineers.
-
In Part 2 of a series of articles, the author focuses on generating a connection between the problem types and various methods of trying to solve these problems.
-
This article presents a deep-learning approach, the long short-term memory network, for adaptive hydrocarbon production forecasting that takes historical operational and production information as input sequences to predict oil production as a function of operational plans.
-
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.
-
Paraffin deposition on the meters measuring produced water volumes causes inaccurate readings. New technology solutions enable lasting accuracy in the place of routine maintenance that provides a temporary solution.
-
The two LM9000-driven trains are part of the ZLNG nearshore floating LNG project.
-
The semisubmersible host is the centerpiece of BP’s $9-billion Mad Dog Phase 2 project.
