Production
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.
This paper describes the first riserless coiled tubing services operation performed in a live subsea well and the associated improvements in efficiency, cost savings, and safety.
This paper describes a case history in the UAE in which the cleanout of scale contaminated with naturally occurring radioactive material was conducted successfully.

Our shifting energy landscape requires a new way to measure the amount of energy that can be extracted from any given source against the energy required to produce and distribute it.
-
Production from the Dover field is expected to start in late 2024 or early 2025.
-
A new report from Rystad Energy expects more than $200 billion will flow into greenfield offshore projects over the next 2 years.
