Offshore/subsea systems
This paper describes the use of encapsulated polymer technology to address the issues of shear degradation and injectivity integrity faced in the application of polymer flooding in an offshore development context.
New technical papers suggest advanced robotic systems may not be far away from broad adoption for a large share of offshore inspection and intervention.
This paper describes the successful deployment of flexible coiled tubing technology in an oil-producing well of the offshore Frade field in Brazil’s Campos Basin.

The job will increase the Heerema vessel’s second main hoist capacity by 1200 mt. -
The subsea field tied back to Grane is expected to produce 60,000 B/D at peak.
-
Aker Solutions, SLB, and Subsea 7 have joined to create a subsea engineering firm to drive innovation and efficiency in subsea production.
-
The authors of this paper discuss the effectiveness of smaller port sizes and the use of dummy and Venturi valves to enhance gas lift performance and maximize recovery in mature offshore fields.
-
The company is set to supply offshore well services and subsea systems for Vår Energi-operated fields on the Norwegian Continental Shelf.
-
Production from the field northwest of the Shetland Islands is expected to start in 2026 or 2027.
-
The authors’ work states that the qualification approach for offshore hydrogen pipeline systems should include material properties testing under various conditions.
-
The authors of this paper present the results of an assessment of two regions in Uruguay suitable for bottom-fixed offshore wind technologies.

Over a 10-year period, sensors monitoring the motion and loads near subsea wellheads have been mounted on more than 300 drilling campaigns. Integrity parameters were calculated to assess whether subsea conductors provided the intended amount of support during drilling operations. In several of these campaigns, loss of conductor support due to integrity issues was obse…
