Abstract The oil and gas industry...

..., tubular installations are often viewed as an attractive focus to mechanize or automate. Within these operations an area often overlooked is the rig up, change out, and/or rig down of tubular installation equipment. Deepwater well construction requires casing strings to be installed in the well...

... that the combined approach of the acoustic sand monitoring with an online sand sampler is crucial for a comprehensive assessment of sand production, particularly in capturing finer sands to allow operators to determine their safe operating envelopes. sand control online sand sampling detector operation...

... achievements, such as a record-breaking operational run life of 10 years and an average increase of 2-3 times in ESP run life. Traditionally, the majority of applications have involved the conversion of existing ESP wells to the Wireline Deployed Rigless ESP systems. However, in response to evolving market...

... Abstract This paper describes a novel approach to the design of subsea intervention tooling which aims to solve the problem Operators are often facing when their installed base comprises of different well types from various original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). This situation drives a higher...

... through a faulty seal or a leaky valve), venting (which take place when gas is released intentionally for safety or operational purposes) and flaring (which takes place when gas is burnt when it cannot be used or recovered). The oil and gas industry is under immense pressure to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG...

... in Malaysia, concluded in June 2023, which distinguishes itself through the pioneering reuse and refurbishment of the decommissioned topside for a new oil and gas development project by a different operator. Simultaneously, the substructures underwent complete removal from the site for onshore disposal...

... activity occurring and planned in Australia has increased significantly this decade. This increase in activity has highlighted several gaps in the readiness across industry; operators have been largely focused on new developments and production with decommissioning taking a lower priority, service sector...

...Background Traditional methods of production quantification in subsea wells have long relied on physical multiphase flowmeters (MPFMs) as the primary tool for accurate measurement. These devices are essential in the oil and gas industry, enabling operators to determine the phase-wise flow...

... Abstract Drilling wells safely without any harm to the environment, faster, more efficiently, and economically have historically been the primary points of operating companies. While these goals are achieved through technology, drilling optimization, and cost reduction approaches; the operator...

... and operation handling. Faster startups and shutdowns, compared to conventional electrohydraulic (EH) tree systems will increase the availability and enhance flow assurance capabilities. Long stepouts will make the system available to carbon footprint manufacturing processes and materials for carbon capture...
