Some notable heavy oil projects offshore Brazil are entering advanced phases to increase or maintain production. Russell McCulley reports from Rio de Janeiro on the latest developments at three Campos Basin fields where the challenges go beyond the technological. Set Fair:
Fairfield Energy - the self-styled only independent of substance solely focused on the UKCS - is positioned for growth following a recent further injection of capital. Meg Chesshyre talks to COO Ian Sharp about the thinking behind the company's latest moves and checks out recent innovative refurbishment activity on the company's Dunlin Alpha platform. Plate Theory:
Potentially game-changing research which seeks to unlock the potential of nanotechnology to help maximize production from oil wells and extend the life of mature fields is advancing at Texas A&M University. Steep Steering:
To meet drilling challenges, such as hole sections with long steep inclinations and severe doglegs, the keystone of a new drilling campaign offshore Thailand includes use of rotary steerable systems instead of the downhole motors traditionally used there. Schlumberger and Smith Bits recall the design and technologies used to drill the first well in this campaign. Downhole Dilemma:
As offshore operators get into deeper waters and develop more mature oil & gas fields using more complex well architectures, continuous downhole injection of chemicals is increasingly required to manage challenges such as scale formation or asphaltene precipitation within the wellbore. PTC's Alan Brodie cautions against allowing this to become a weak link in the well integrity chain. Behavior Modification:
Human factors, such as lapses in concentration, mistakes and violations, are frequently cited as the root cause of incidents in the offshore oil & gas industry. Changing these behaviors has therefore been identified as key to reducing recordable incidents and improving overall safety performance, as Stork Technical Services' Mike Mann explains.
