... commercial applications should be evaluated since significant cost savings and operational simplifications could be achieved by early adopters. After a cursory review of current technology in gas treating and sulfur recovery, this paper summarizes applicable new technology in this area developed...

... Abstract Increasing sensitivity to crude price fluctuations will require operators to reduce costs for drilling, completion and production operations. A key component of this strategy is the collaborative management of equipment assets by operators and suppliers to reduce cost over the complete...

... Abstract Deming's principles of management are often regarded by individuals in the petroleum industry as being applicable to manufacturing operations, but not to E&P activities. The argument usually asserts that E&P activities are so varied that Deming's method of analyzing "the system...
