Abstract Monitoring data contributes to environmental risk and impact assessments, baseline studies and operational monitoring and is important to the environmental management of offshore Exploration & Production (E&P) activities. The quality of such studies may, in principle, be limited to ...
Abstract Premier Oil, and their partner Amerada Hess Limited, drilled, completed and tested the 11/24-1 exploration well in the inner Moray Firth during September through November of 1996. This well was one of the most environmentally sensitive wells to be drilled in Great Britain to-date. The inner ...
Abstract A comprehensive review is given in this paper on marine pollution and its management in the Bohai Sea-a internal sea of China. With fast industrialization in the last two decades along the coast of the Bohai Sea, more and more pollutants discharged into the coastal waters and caused environmental ...
This paper presents and analyzes equipment development and testing, completion procedures, and maintenance operations using through-flowline (TFL) methods on five subsea wells in 100 to 200 ft (30.5 to 61 m) of water offshore Brunei. These wells, installed in 1974-76, presently are operated by Brunei ...
Abstract Performing coiled tubing and wireline well interventions outside of the short string in dual completions has become an acceptable part of well intervention activities in the Offshore West Java field over the last 2 years. Previously, most well intervention activities below the end of the short ...
Abstract This paper begins with a short review of current state legislation directed toward the satisfactory disposal of salt water. An example is cited of the progress the oil industry has made in meeting the problems involved in disposing of salt water in the most economic manner while complying ...
Abstract This universe is on the threshold - Whether to survive or diminish on account of pollution and imbalances which are created by people themselves. There is threat to ecology on account of all pollutions. For all of the benefits oil has brought to modern society, risk is inherent. Protecting ...
Abstract The Snohvit LNG project includes offshore development in the Barents Sea, pipelines to shore, remote operation of the production, onshore LNG plant, and shipment of products. Planning for the project has been going on for a decade, and the Project Plan was delivered to Norwegian authorities ...
Underwater sound has provided means for measuring distances for nearly half a century. The first successful means echo sounding is still the one most widely used. It is likely that continued research can make it a valuable oil industry tool in offshore exploration and operations. Introduction As the ...
A. Skadsheim, V. Hoivangli and C. Labes-Carrier, Elf Marine Environment Centre (Elf Akvamiljo), Stavanger, Norway Abstract Accidental spills and production lead to discharges of petroleum hydrocarbons and surface active agents to the sea. The Norwegian government has set guidelines adopted from the ...
Abstract The Chuc-A production platform produced an average of 59,200 BPD until October 24th 1997, in this date a fire happened when installing a separator. This oil volume corresponds to the 43% of the field total production. Once the fire was controlled, the personnel of the Drilling Management and ...
Abstract Health Impact Assessment (HIA) as part of Environmental Impact Assessment commenced in SPDC in 1998 with the pilot HIA of Forcados Terminal Integrated Project (FTIP). A review of the health status (with a focus on infectious diseases), hazards and services was made to set a baseline for monitoring ...
Abstract Belmont Island was a man-made oil drilling and production island located approximately 8,100 feet offshore of the City of Seal Beach, California in about 42 feet of water. The island was located on State Oil and Gas Lease PRC 186, which contained approximately 1,225 acres of tide and submerged ...
Abstract Shell UK Exploration & Production, operating in the UK sector of the North Sea for Shell and Esso, wished to develop a subsea oil producer that would intersect three sub-blocks and would require drilling and completion from a semi submersible rig. Since only one slot remained in the manifold, ...
Abstract The modern era of coiled tubing drilling began in mid-1991. Since then, upwards of 300 wells or sections of wells have been drilled using coiled tubing. The majority of these applications has used conventional coiled tubing service units in conjunction with a workover hoist or conventional ...
SPE Members Abstract For the last decades, slimhole rigs were scarcely available, because drilling contractors Wouldn't invest in new equipment without signed contracts in their hands, and operators were reluctant to enter in long-term slimhole exploration contracts. Maraven, S.A., and Corpoven, ...
Abstract The Gulf of Mexico (GOM) Offshore Continental Shelf (OCS) Regional Office of the Minerals Management Service (MMS) published a Letter to Lessees and Operators (LTL) dated November 20, 1990, concerning the reporting, disposal, and transportation of produced well solids containing naturally ...
Abstract The oil and petrochemical industries have unquestionably been key drivers in the development of the complex, modern world we live in.
