Abstract A robust chemical product comparative scoring process (CSP) has been developed that facilitates continuous improvement in human and environmental hazard reduction. The method is simple and quick enough to use during development of new products, is adaptable to changing needs and visually ...
Abstract During a typical field life of 30-50 years, significant changes occur in standard operating procedures, engineering, technology, standards, regulations, etc. Wells which met industry good practice and the relevant regulatory requirements when constructed can deteriorate over time so that they ...
Abstract Since their introduction in 1993 the modern multilateral systems and their applications have developed rapidly. System capabilities and features have adapted to a myriad of operating conditions and demands placed upon them. But in many cases the development of equipment has outstripped the ...
Abstract Conserving biological diversity and enhancing the wellbeing of people is a significant challenge for all of society including both the private sector and conservation organizations. This paper describes efforts by the Kutubu Petroleum Development Project (KPDP), operated by Chevron Niugini, ...
Abstract New, cost-effective, and environmentally acceptable hydrate inhibitors that allow multiphase fluids to be transported untreated over long distances have been under increasing investigation by the oil and gas industry. Replacing traditional hydrate inhibitors such as methanol and glycols with ...
This paper was prepared for the 48th Annual Fall Meeting of the Society of Petroleum Engineers of AIME, to be held in Las Vegas, Nev., Sept. 30-Oct. 3, 1973. Permission to copy is restricted to an abstract of not more than 300 words. Illustrations may not be copied. The abstract should contain conspicuous ...
Abstract Oil companies are increasingly adopting the ""alliance"" organization to develop innovative engineering solutions to make projects economic in an industry characterized by global opportunities and competition for investment dollars. This structure involves strategic contractual relationships ...
Abstract Kra Al-Maru 3 (KM-3) is a deep vertical exploration well originally drilled to investigate the hydrocarbon potential of the Jurassic formations. Investigation of the open hole logs/cores indicated that there was limited porosity development in the Marrat zones of interest. Therefore an operational ...
Abstract In 1994, the Kutubu Petroleum Development Project (established by a consortium of oil companies and operated by Chevron Niugini Limited) and the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) embarked on a unique partnership to conserve the globally-significant forest ecosystem of the Kikori River catchment in ...
Abstract Several wellbore stability challenges are faced when drilling in deep water. Overburden sediments are typically weak and overpressured; pore-frac windows are therefore narrow; salt bodies may have to be penetrated; rubble zones may exist adjacent to the salt bodies; reservoir formations may ...
Alaska's history is one of exploitation of its resources by nonresident interests. The attitude was ""get and get out"". This pattern has changed, and today Alaska demands that its resources be used for the maximum benefit of its citizens. Introduction Alaska, meaning ""The Great Land"", is often ...
Abstract Ghana is blessed with a wealth of new-found oil and gas resources. Discovery of the giant Jubilee field has given Ghana's leaders a sense of great opportunity and an equally great responsibility to avoid falling subject to the ""oil curse"". To help manage this balance, in 2010 the World Bank ...
Abstract Over the past 2-1/2 years, ConocoPhillips has undertaken a challenge to establish safety as a core value in its drilling and completion operations in the ArkLaTex region with positive results in safety and operations. By working together with our contractors, decreases in trailing indicators ...
Abstract The Eugene Island Block 174 Well No. 3 was producing 1000 BOPD before it was blown over by Hurricane Danny in August, 1985. The well was located offshore Louisiana in 801 of water. The 60"" OD x 1.75"" wall caisson which supported the satellite well was sheared in two at four feet below the ...
Abstract Naturally fractured tight gas sands have come of age in the United States. They will also come of age in Canada within the next few years and in the rest of the world within the next few decades. This work discusses the role of natural fractures and slot porosity on tight gas sands as they ...
Abstract The purpose of a chemical stimulation treatment, be it based on acid, solvent, or other systems, is to remove formation damage and increase productivity/injectivity, by restoring or improving the reservoir permeability in the near-wellbore region. A fundamental preliminary step in most successful ...
The Ten Section field is approximately 10 miles southwest of Bakersfield,Kern County, Calif. (Fig. 1). There is no surface evidence of the existence ofthe Ten Section structure, which subsurface exploration has shown to be agently folded, anticlinal dome. Regionally, this field occurs as a fold in thedeeper ...
Abstract Petronas Carigali Sdn Bhd (PCSB) is one of major oil and gas companies in South East Asia. It has had years of experience operating coil tubing unit (CTU) on relatively large oil and gas field platforms. Vast of field experience and project lessons learned have been captured, refined and eventually ...
R.E. Gilliber, J.O. Methven, R. Nicholls Abstract Robust contingency oil spill response arrangements are a prerequisite of nearshore oilfield developments. The Liverpool Bay Development (LBD) represents the greatest UK challenge to date in this regard. This paper describes the development of BHP ...
