Well integrity/control
This paper presents a comprehensive literature review of perforate, wash, and cement techniques that compares new methods with traditional ones and uses field cases and computational fluid dynamics to find the most cost- and time-effective practices without sacrificing safety.
New strides in computer vision, well controls indicators, and BOP alignment were showcased at the recent Offshore Technology Conference.
