Beyond ensuring the day-to-day operational planning, encompassing critical activities such as production startup, shutdown, scraping, line packing, and blowdown, the industry is driven by a dual mandate. This includes optimizing production for economic viability while...

... and historical data made available by offshore pipeline operators. The primary objective of conducting PrAnSpan is to enhance the efficiency in managing pipeline freespan by optimizing the cost associated with underwater inspections and facilitating more informed decision-making especially for costly immediate...

... available by using pre-installed cable protectors during run-in-hole operations for completions when downhole cables and control lines are being deployed. Pre-installed cable protectors can also greatly reduce the number of personnel operating in the ‘red zone’ thereby improving safety. cable...

... The need to test the integrity of the packer and the wellhead setup requires a method to allow flow from the bottom while holding pressure from the top. A specially designed test assembly was developed to manage the dual needs of allowing flow for the ESP operation while enabling pressure...

... 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...

... 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...

... The successful implementation of the iRDC contractual model has resulted in accelerated well delivery time and substantially reduced ILT, providing value maximization for both the operator and the service and rig contractors. Furthermore, the collaborative nature of the iRDC contract model has...

... 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...

... The carboxylic acids (R-COOH) commonly called naphthenic acids are at the origin of severe corrosion in any type of equipment operating at high temperature. Crude oil with total acidity as low as 0.5 mg KOH/g could generate risk of corrosion within the system [3]. In the presence of naphthenic...

... suitable for conversion with minor modifications, those requiring additional information, those needing significant modifications, and those deemed unsuitable for this purpose. This approach provides a user-friendly and simplified initial step for decision-making, particularly beneficial for operators...

... Abstract In accordance with the industry’s efforts to reduce its carbon footprint in all phases of operation, it has become vital to investigate innovative ways of reducing pollution to acceptable levels and to optimize drilling fluid usage and formulations. As the main us er of chemical...

... Tri-ethylene Glycol (TEG) filling process in one of the natural gas fields located at north-western coast of Australia. To determine the feasibility of using only a single TEG filling process, a few scenarios had to be studied for their environmental and operational impact. The first scenario...

..., a technology collaboration project was initiated to deploy an automation system that could be integrated into an operating rig. This, together with another automation application complements the overall drill a stand workflow along with Autonomous Directional Drilling. An automation system that is integrated...

... 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...

..., 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...

... 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...
