Production
Over a dozen new projects aim to keep US offshore output near 1.8 million B/D through next year.
Spanish yard will prep the almost 40-year-old FPSO for redeployment opportunities for new owner.
Best practices are not static; they evolve alongside advancements that redefine what is achievable.
-
A plunger lift optimization software has been developed that enables set-point optimization at scale.
-
A novel PCP configuration was developed from phased design trials and experience in cold heavy-oil production with sand (CHOPS) wells. This configuration uses a modified rotor to create alternating sections of contact and noncontact within a conventional stator.
-
Last year, events accelerated several trends in the energy landscape. Oil and gas prices have remained low, and the industry is focusing more strongly on reducing costs and increasing operational efficiency. Implementing innovative technologies that increase recovery requires a small investment but can bring large rewards.

The offshore Equatorial Guinea project is a key step toward country’s mega hub status.
-
Contractor will engineer, construct, and install project’s seafloor hardware.
-
The proposed solution is a good candidate for real-time burner-efficiency monitoring and automatic alarm triggering and optimization.
-
The interpretation of well tests, combined with petrophysical analysis, formation-test data, and production logs, provided insight into Khuff reservoirs.
-
The paper investigates the effect of complex environments on DFIT interpretation and presents a systematic method to analyze the data.
-
The complete paper uses 3,782 unconventional horizontal wells to analyze the effect of proppant volume and the length of the perforated lateral on short- and long-term well productivity across the Permian Basin.
