In an industry that demands savvy engineering and rapid advancements in technology, it is often far too easy to overlook the simplest approach to the path forward. As many of the technological “adva...
A deepwater Gulf of Mexico operator began Gas Lift Valve Change Out operations with the intent to optimize production in a producing well. The operation encountered access issues while attempting to r...
In my previous article, I promised to address the doubts of the readers around the material that could be placed in the hole as a barrier for plug and abandonment, and whether those materials differ d...
As developed wells continue to produce, these completed assets undergo thermodynamic cycling consistent with the production life of the well. The constant loading on these wells induce stresses that a...
In pursuit of a safer and more cost-effective best practice approach to liquid-based rigless/riserless interventions, the oil and gas industry is engaged in a growing movement to identify new techniqu...
For this particular project, EV engineered a simple gas detection indicator, mounted in front of the Optis HD E-line downview camera, to reveal the presence of low-rate gas entry i...
This document can act as starting point for people who want to learn more about composite pipes in offshore applications, and is intended for engineers, Technical Authorities and managers active in th...
Since the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (“BOEM”) released Notice to Lessees (“NTL”) No. 2016-N01 in July 2016, the oil and gas industry has been working together to understand BOEM’s dec...
The optimum design for offshore wells is one that requires minimal intervention work from the beginning of production to P&A operations. The only intervention that is generally acceptable is wirel...
