... seawater treatment for water injection has several inherent advantages compared to topside treatment. One significant aspect is the increased flexibility afforded to reservoir engineers in improving effective reservoir management by providing the opportunity to implement any desired water injection...

... analyze well data and rock samples in order to create diagenetic trends to be incorporated in the reservoir models. Conclusions The more complex a reservoir is, the more data acquisition and project flexibilities are fundamental for a successful development. Although cost reduction and project...

... large areas of petroleum fields. The present work demonstrates the feasibility, usefulness and flexibility of this system. A simulation of a submarine network was set up with the main components submerged in the laboratory water tank connecting various nodes through optical cables and through...

... the subsea pipeline, but the biggest have been designed for specific large fields. Another approach is to build flexibility into the design of the FLNG facility, potentially increasing the initial CAPEX of the unit, instead of targeting a specific field. This approach allows the CAPEX to be amortized across...

... and development campaigns for two important exploration blocks, due to the limited experience and expertise in this region. The technology is considered important for reservoir risk management because of its flexibility. An intelligent completion provides a means to remotely control inflow as necessary...

... functional demands and has led to bigger sized and heavier equipment and consequently larger ships. These new rigs need to be ready to apply the new and advanced drilling techniques and to keep up with the growing safety standards. supplier conventional moonpool flexibility drilling equipment...

... inspections can be difficult and very expensive. The use of local joint flexibility can lead to a reduction in the number of joints to be inspected. For that reason, this work aims to present an evaluation of the effects using methodologies of local joint flexibility. This work was conducted for six fixed...

... to the client's desk using the vehicle and satellite based communications. The vehicle by virtue of its low profile and flexibility on maneuvering around obstructions can be placed as close to an obstruction as possible, reducing the risk typically involved in an operation of this nature. Furthermore, its...

... this choice which leaded to a mix of classical strategies (information, flexibility and robustness) for the development plan. IW (Intelligent Well), in this context, was identified as an extra flexibility that was worth investing in. Fast response to unexpected events and better production system behavior...

... Abstract Pipelines for deep-water application should be designed to be extremely flexible to ease the installation procedures. Such flexibility will improve the bending instabilities of reeled pipelines during spooling of initially straight or laying of initially bent pipe. Also during...

... uncertainties, which are inherent in deepwater developments, along with providing flexibility to capture any potential future production upsides that have been identified in the proximal development location. On this basis, perhaps the most critical and important analysis required during the initial phase...

.... flexible pipe. The ratings are thus at least equivalent to those of the risers themselves. Metal to metal flanged connections enable safe fluid containment without the need for maintenance and each riser can be directly accessed from the process facilities for testing and pigging. This development...
