Offshore/subsea systems
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.
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.
