ABSTRACT : In 137' of water depth, F-10 platform with 12 piles and 8 slots was built in 1966 by COPE to exploit the North-Western part of the Field, (16 km., of Sinai shore and 150 km South of Suez). By June 1967, one well was drilled to 8974 ft. and completed as oil producer. After June 1967, ...
Abstract An Environmental Risk Analysis (ERA) was conducted as a pilot study on the Dalia Total FPSO (Floating Production and Storage unit) in Angola located at about 135 km off the coast with complex subsea installations at 1400m depth. The environmental damage and its frequency resulting from the ...
Abstract The term Integrated Environmental Monitoring (IEM) refers to the tight coupling of sensor based real-time environmental monitoring with day-to-day operations. In that perspective IEM extends the traditional meaning of the term environmental monitoring by including discharge control, leak detection ...
Abstract One of the current largest oil increments in the world in Saudi Arabia is undergoing field development. The southern part of the field traverses the Arabian Gulf Sea. The Production Engineering team crossed major hurdles in the development of this field with Causeways construction on artificial ...
Abstract Toxicity limits are appearing more frequently in permits for produced water discharges. A bioluminescent bacteria bioassay has been proposed as a screening tool to predict toxicity in higher organisms, which are more expensive and require longer testing times. Before such a surrogate screen ...
Acknowledgments This paper is part of the output of a two year study which was funded as part of the UK Department of Trade and Industry's LINK Programme, under the Sustainable Technologies Initiative, with funding from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), matched by ...
Abstract Slim-hole exploration drilling and coring in the North Sea is limited. It is a concept that requires further evaluation. The full economic benefit of slim-hole drilling can be realised with a total slim-hole package, e.g., with sized down subsea BOPs, riser and floating vessel. Also, slim-hole ...
Abstract The biological damage that resulted from the use of `dispersants' during the `Torrey Canyon' oil spill (1967) indicated that the early dispersants were highly toxic and, perhaps. caused more damage than the oil alone. Despite subsequent improvements in the formulation of dispersants ...
Abstract The Nederlandse Aardolie Maatschappij B.V. (NAM) is the largest gas producer in the Netherlands. The company operates a number of gas/condensate platforms on the Dutch continental shelf in the platforms on the Dutch continental shelf in the North Sea. From 8 of these platforms produced water ...
SPE Member Abstract An integrated study of the geology, petrophysics, geophysics, and engineering aspects was made on the Libertador field in Ecuador. The study began after the field had produced approximately 6% of the oil originally in place. Data from geophysics, petrophysics, geology, transient ...
Abstract A multi-disciplinary team approach was successfully employed to design and implement innovative environmental solutions to drill the 8000 foot deep Hunter Creek exploratory well, less than 20 miles from Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming. Acquiring permission from the ES, the BLM, and ultimately, ...
Abstract In many locations in the Rocky Mountains, water associated with oil production is very fresh (less than 5000 mg/l Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)). Many operators in Wyoming discharge excess produced water to the surface, where it is depended upon by local livestock and wildlife. Much of Wyoming ...
KELLY, THOMAS E., ANCHORAGE, ALASKA ROBERT SERVICE, POET OF THE NORTH, WROTE: ""IT'S THE GREAT, BIG, BROAD LAND WAY UP YONDER, IT'S THE FORESTS WHERE SILENCE HAS LEASE, IT'S THE BEAUTY THAT THRILLS ME WITH WONDER, IT'S THE STILLNESS THAT FILLS ME WITH PEACE."" ALTHOUGH RECALLING ...
Abstract A high inclination directional drill hole was designed as a conduit to carry a fresh water pipeline from an intermediate pump station to the south rim of the Grand Canyon. This use of directional drilling technology was judged superior to an external pipeline for reasons of worker safety, ...
Abstract A new pregel blender is being developed to continuously mix dry gel on the fly for fracturing treatments. Specifically, this system can either continuously mix dry gel at the job concentration the operator selects, or mix a liquid concentrate that is later diluted to the required final job ...
Abstract The paper is a review of directional drilling undertaken by Sohio Petroleum Co. in the western half of the Prudhoe Bay Field on the Arctic North Slope of Alaska. The first three sections cover well planning and include such topics as the necessity for directional wells, government restrictions ...
Abstract Since 1994 BP Colombia has worked in onshore exploration and production at the fields of Casanare. Thirteen years of work on spillage prevention have made us built a continuously-growing knowledge about the know-how of spill reduction. Our success has been notable: from more than 150 contained ...
Abstract While jar technology has been used in the oil industry for the better part of the last century, the basic function and capability has not taken many leaps forward. Increasingly complex well geometry and deeper target depths continue to push drillers into tighter, higher risk well conditions ...
Abstract This paper discusses progressive construction and operational techniques which can be employed to minimize impacts from drilling operations in sensitive wetland environments. Some of the techniques to be discussed include: - Use of previously impacted wetlands for access routes; - Modified ...
Abstract Chevron operates Boscan field, an approximately 115,000 barrel per day heavy oil production operation near Lake Maracaibo in Western Venezuela. Most of Boscan occupies a heavily modified agricultural landscape, but several individuals have recognized portions of the field as providing important ...
