Well integrity/control
To enable a fully interventionless approach, a barrier-rated tubing-hanger valve has been developed to eliminate slickline intervention and minimize associated risks and operational time.
This paper aims to present thoroughly the application of subsurface safety injection valves in extremely high-temperature environments.
This paper introduces a novel optimization framework to address CO2 injection strategies under geomechanical risks using a Fourier neural operator-based deep-learning model.

A scientist hired by federal regulators to look for ways to reduce the risk of well blowouts said it is time for the oil and gas industry to treat kicks taken while drilling the same way doctors treat heart attacks. -
In response to the 2010 Deepwater Horizon incident that claimed the lives of 11 men and led to the worst oil spill in United States history, the offshore industry devised new technologies and methods that would allow for a quicker response in the US Gulf of Mexico.
-
Making hole has become a more difficult and complex operation as operators move into untapped horizons, especially deepwater and unconventional fields.
-
The offshore industry has taken another step toward opening up new deepwater frontiers to exploration with Maersk Drilling ordering the first 20,000-psi blowout preventer (BOP) made by GE Oil and Gas.
-
Many problems that result in BOP downtime could be prevented if only drilling contractors knew which parts of the subsea system to replace and when. BOP monitoring systems have been developed to increase reliability by enabling preventive maintenance.
-
Statistics on well-integrity incidents are difficult to find in the literature. There are some examples of kick and blowout events, but normally they are scarce and focus on the number of incidents and their root causes.
-
The purpose of this work is to investigate typical fracture and collapse models with respect to accuracies in the input data.
-
Deepwater cementing becomes increasingly challenging as drilling operations move to greater water depths and more-remote locations.
