Offshore/subsea systems
This paper presents a flexible, highly cost- and energy-efficient method of gas separation and CO₂ capture from many different gas mixtures with a large range of CO₂ concentrations.
This work introduces a novel predictive methodology combining historical metocean data with real-time riser analysis for shallow water dynamically positioned rig operations.
This paper documents the testing, integration, and field deployment of a metal expandable packer used as an openhole toe isolation plug in a deepwater well under high-pressure, high-temperature conditions.

Once labeled “undrillable,” Brazil’s heavy-oil Atlanta field in the Santos Basin faced technical, financial, and logistical challenges. But through a phased approach, clever reuse of assets, and disciplined project execution, Brava Energia transformed a risky deepwater asset into a producing field with 172 million BOE in 2P reserves.

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.
