... Abstract Many offshore wells and platforms are nearing abandonment, in the Gulf of Mexico, the North Sea, Offshore West Africa, and other areas. The current decommissioning process, however, is expensive. Instead of decommissioning, do these assets create an opportunity to decrease cost...

... Abstract A soil response framework for use in fatigue assessment of offshore wells and piles is presented. The framework covers clay and sand soil types. It was developed through comprehensive series of physical testing and numerical simulations. It hinges on determination of the unload-reload...

... Abstract Globally, operators and regulators are pushing to ensure wells are abandoned successfully and securely. DNV GL is introducing a new, risk-based Recommended Practice (RP) for performing and qualifying well abandonments, entitled DNVGL-RP-E103 "Risk-based abandonment of offshore wells...

... ABSTRACT While drilling the second offshore well in the Brazilian coast, PETROBRAS struck oil in a thin turbidite reservoir. In nearly 20 years of offshore exploration, the total volume of in-place oil discovered amounts to 28.3 billion barrels, of which 22.0 billion in turbidite reservoirs...

... Polar Gas Pipeline. Starting in 1974 and until the end of the 1979 drilling season a total of 13 offshore wells have been drilled using offshore drilling systems adapted to land rigs supported from floating ice platforms. These systems have been effective in drilling in water depths up to 1,200 feet...
