Well integrity/control
How OSRL, InterMoor, and Oceaneering adapted existing technologies into a method for landing a capping stack on a shallow-water well.
A report commissioned by Havtil, the Norwegian Ocean Industry Authority, calls for better dialogue regarding pore-pressure uncertainty and higher-end drilling techniques like managed pressure drilling as methods to reduce the risk of well-control events.
This paper presents a study that confirms glass-reinforced-epoxy-lined tubing as a reliable, cost-effective solution for long-term water-injection service in moderate-salinity offshore environments.

This paper introduces a method using a Bayesian network to aggregate trends detected in time-series data with events identified by natural language processing to improve the accuracy and robustness of kick and lost-circulation detection. -
Diagnostics firm TGT launched its newest acoustic platform that it says broadens flow analysis by adding radial distance to the data collected.
-
The second phase of the project will analyze data gathered in Phase 1, with the goal of improving riser, wellhead, and conductor fatigue estimates.
-
Regulators told some injection well operators close to the epicenter of a magnitude 4.0 earthquake that they will have to shut down their operations indefinitely.

Moving into 2023, perhaps it will be safe to say that the era of the low-carbon energy mix has begun as the primary energy production landscape is changing fast. Until now, fossils fuels have dominated, and may still for the next few years dominate, the energy mix; however, a shift is taking place that will gain momentum, driven by global efforts toward addressing cli…

The authors of this paper describe a software technology that balances calculated well-integrity risk with the associated financial impact for an entire integrity-surveillance program.
