... of the eight OCS platforms being decommissioned, if fully removed, would each establish world water depth records for removing conventional steel platform jackets from the seafloor. The paper also describes the major technical, logistical, environmental, and regulatory challenges operators face in planning...

... Abstract The adoption of imaging technologies to create 2D and 3D models is becoming more and more common in the management of critical infrastructure. In most cases of submerged infrastructure, remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) are the only way to easily capture reliable data for modeling...

... Abstract In 2009, the Vito field was discovered in more than 4,000 ft of water approximately 150 miles offshore from New Orleans, Louisiana. The project produces from reservoirs nearly 30,000 feet below sea level. This paper outlines the approach taken to develop the Vito facilities operating...

... with economic impact on emissions from hydrocarbon production will be progressively adopted. This is triggering oil and gas (O&G) attention to find faster and economic ways to decarbonize while maintaining operational performance. Several types of initiatives are being considered including the reduction...

... operations and business strategies – specifically segmented to the United States, United Kingdom, and Europe. To operators, the primary focus is to transform their business (influenced by regulations and legislative policies) by reducing their carbon emissions while also investing in cleaner energy sources...

... to operate in the pre-salt region of Brazilian waters that turns conventional loads into motorised loads. Several decarbonisation efforts implemented via reduced emissions and advanced monitoring tools will also be discussed for the Partial-Electric FPSO that is under construction in the shipyard...

... and structural) is required. As a result of these complexities, it is often challenging for offshore operators to understand all the subsystems and manage the long-term integrity. Recognizing this limitation, the American Petroleum Institute (API) commissioned a project to develop guidance on managing...

... Abstract Multiphase flowmeters (MPFM) are used to measure oil, water, and gas volumetric flow rates in real time without phase separation. Field-proven MPFM play an important role in oilfield operations as the trusted flow measurements enable production optimization and flow assurance. However...

... Abstract Deepwater oil and gas operations often deal with harsh environmental conditions which pose numerous challenges for the design and deployment of in-well, topside, and subsea systems and stretch the performance envelopes of the associated equipment. High pressure, temperature, and well...

In production since November 2021, the operational feedback on the highly insulated Pipe-in-Pipe associated to the Distributed Temperature monitoring System (DTS) and data gathered during...

... Abstract ROV operations are mainly performed via a traditional control kiosk and limited data feedback methods, such as the use of joysticks and camera view displays equipped on a surface vessel. This traditional setup requires significant personnel on board (POB) time and imposes high...

... the project's gas-lift system. The riserless section was drilled in a batch form and was benchmarked as a world-class performance against the company fleet performance. The majority of the subsequent deepening drilling and completion operations were benchmarked as best-in-class performing wells, thanks...

... Abstract There has been tremendous focus in recent years in applying automation technology to offshore operations in order to reap the promised benefits of increased productivity and economic returns while reducing emissions and ensuring workforce safety. While there are few concrete numbers...

... Abstract Well annulus data is essential to designing well abandonment plans with minimal uncertainty, costs, and risks. Many operators are challenged with accessing data from wells in remote areas, which adds time and complexity to abandonment planning. This paper reviews a novel well...

... Abstract In recent years, Asset Performance Management (APM) solutions have garnered increased attention from oil and gas process facility operators employing digitalization strategies. However, despite the growing interest, there is still confusion among industry professionals about what APM...

... Abstract As an industry, we have a shared commitment to reach net zero emissions by 2050. The exam question has been set and although we are beginning to see progress, in an industry that has always been good at overprovisioning, a lot of work is still to be done. Operators have traditionally...
