Production
Secondary and tertiary efforts are critical for sustaining the productive lives of unconventional plays.
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.

SponsoredWith an intense focus on improving returns and cash flow, oil and gas producers need step-change improvement in managing production versus plan. Embracing AI is critical to overcoming today's tools that largely fall short of achieving that ultimate goal. -
With the acquisition of Schlumberger’s rod lift business, Lufkin gains several products, brands, and key proprietary software.

Wellbore tortuosity is a term that has steadily increased in relevance to the oil and gas industry over the past decade, but its importance is especially clear in the current environment.
-
Present industry solutions to the challenge of well spacing involve expensive geomechanical Earth modeling or fracture-geometry monitoring that is time-consuming, data-intensive, and geography-specific.
-
To have the flexibility to treat both rich and lean gas wells [up to 100% gas volume fraction (GVF)], a new multiphase pump system has been developed by comparing the different boosting systems performance and analyzing well-by-well production scenarios.
-
To further reduce backpressure on low-pressure gas wells and increase reserves in a mature gas field, a gas-ejector project was evaluated and proposed.
-
Primarily used in a few US states, waste-slurry-injection technology could help operators reduce cost, while also potentially reducing their carbon footprint. But the process may still present technical and environmental challenges.

The complete paper describes the hurdles that have prevented single-trip installation of upper and lower completions in the complex world of subsea and deepwater applications and examines the processes, technologies, and risk-mitigation steps that took a concept from pilot to successful deployment.
-
The complete paper reviews the results of gas hydrate engineering and production testing studies associated with northern Canada and Alaska.
