Annular Pressure Buildup (APB) occurs in all wells with high bottom hole temperature, multiple casing strings and annuli that cannot be vented--which includes most deepwater...
The objective of the University of Tulsa project is to provide a system for monitoring and maintaining deepwater pipelines which would predict and allow proactive measures to be...
This is the first study into understanding the feasibility of discharging produced water and/or solids at the seabed. Produced Water today is treated on topside platforms and...
Vessel imposed motions affect the long-term integrity of riser systems on offshore floating facilities. This is amplified for vessels tagged as "high-motion" such as...
The project will identify improved recovery opportunities in the early stages of field development planning, such that facility and well designs can be optimized to take...
The overall objectives of this project are to determine if an integrated approach using magnetic ballast clarification (MBC), vortex-generating (FMX) and non-filtration (NF)...
The overall objective of this proposed study was to provide a set of web-based tools that will enable producers and other users to characterize, treat, beneficially use, and...
The objective of the project was to study, test and develop an innovative technology for enhanced gas recovery (EGR) from low-permeability shale gas and tight gas reservoirs. In...
The objective of the proposed research was to conduct a systematic experimental study of fracture conductivity in shale oil and gas formations. The study focused on the...
GE Research is developing a process simulator capable of modeling a complete subsea production system. This simulator may be used to model the facility performance of the field...
The development of an inertial guidance system for directional drilling, based on MEMS gyroscope technology. This device will be located behind the drill bit.
The primary objective of this project is to mature two concepts of very large floating systems that are suitable for drilling and production in up to 10,000-foot GOM...
The objectives of this project are to develop a Deepwater Riserless Intervention System (RIS) capable of conducting typical wireline interventions in water depths up to 10,000...
To reliably and economically identify and assess flow and well production or well control events and conditions for the purpose of preparing the appropriate response actions,...
The objective of this project was to study the feasibility of a circular shaped floating platform unit as compared to two current FPU concepts, semi-sub, and spars. The floater...
The research efforts for this project will produce a state of the art synthetic GOM hurricane model to evaluate hurricane risk, as expressed by n-year wind speeds, to offshore...
To develop and design Subsea water quality monitoring sensors to measure the quality of produced water separated at the Sea-floor. The sensors will also offer an improved...
The overall objective of this project is to develop a geologic and operational framework for brine disposal in the Northern Appalachian Basin so that the produced fluids from...
The objective of the project is to use rock physics in combination with new seismic data-acquisition technologies based on cableless boxes and accelerated-weight and vector...
The objectives of this project are to develop fundamental knowledge of mud-cement compatibility issues related specifically to deepwater cementing, to quantify risks associated...
