FRONTIER AFRICA FOCUS - Majors mass to reassess South Africa's offshore plays - Exploration off South Africa has entered a new era, with Total/CNR preparing to drill the country's first ultra-deepwater well in 1,450 m (4,757 ft) of water off the south coast. What was once a relative offshore backwater has become one of Africa's hot spots, with all available near-shore and frontier deepwater licenses taken up.| 2014

BRAZIL - Petrobras FPSOs queue up at SBM's new Brasa yard - Just across the Guanabara Bay from Rio de Janeiro and the global headquarters of Petrobras, SBM's Brasa shipyard in Niteroi is completing its first project since opening in July 2012, the FPSO Cidade de llhabela. The remarkably urban location of the country's only fully dedicated FPSO yard brings advantages as well as obstacles.| 2014

60 YEARS OF OFFSHORE - Offshore at 60: Remembering the Creole field - On March 18, 1938, production of oil from a well drilled by Pure Oil and Superior Oil in the Gulf of Mexico marked the birth of the offshore industry. A look back at both the Creole platform and others that followed after World War II provides a glimpse of history in the making.| 2014

New DTS interpretation improves matrix acidizing offshore Mexico| 2014

DRILLING & COMPLETION - New DTS interpretation improves matrix acidizing offshore Mexico - The Schlumberger ACTive live downhole coiled tubing (CT) was selected for real-time treatment monitoring of subsequent matrix acidizing jobs. The ACTive CT services convey live downhole measurements on fiber-optics, telemetry-enabled CT, and consist of a bottomhole assembly, surface electronics and interpretation software. Downhole data, including internal and external pressures, temperature, casing collar locator, gamma ray and distributed temperature sensing, can be used for various intervention operations independently. However, PEMEX was most interested in how these measurements can be used collectively to optimize acidizing.| 2014

DRILLING & COMPLETION - Managed pressure drilling meets challenges of deepwater well - A managed pressure drilling system, used in conjunction with a continuous circulating device to control wellbore pressure, helped an international E&P company successfully drill a difficult section of an deepwater exploration well in Ghana, West Africa, in 2012. The operator and service company Weatherford implemented the MicroFlux MPD Control System, a closed-loop system that enables accurate detection and effective management of minute fluid influxes in challenging wellbores.| 2014

One-trip casing exit milling saves time during complex drilling - Performing a casing exit to create a secondary wellbore involves a whipstock assembly to direct the mill toward the side of the existing casing where an exit is then milled. However, today's wellbore requires advanced drilling assemblies with a range of technologies, including electronics and measuring devices that send data back to the operator. Drilling assemblies have necessarily gotten larger to accommodate these additional tools. The need for effective tools to address the size, length, and stiffness of newer drilling assemblies led Baker Hughes to develop the LongBow casing exit milling system.| 2014

-
Ice simulation software targets protection of Arctic platforms and substructures - To date, platforms for cold regions typically have been designed using empirically based codes for loadings, with ice formations being modeled at scale in an ice basin using certain design criteria. However, a tool that will accurately predict ice behavior, to calculate loadings, and simulate the flow of ice as it encroaches on and ideally passes by a platform structure without a dangerous build-up is needed. Technip, Cerv-val, and Bureau Veritas are developing such an ice simulation program.| 2014

PRODUCTION OPERATIONS - Minimal facility production buoys could unlock 'stranded' North Sea resources - One partnership is working to develop economic solutions for marginal fields even in the 5-10 MMbbl range. This involves use of what they term "buoyant solutions" which can be unmanned, minimal facility production buoys or self-installing floating towers, both suited to rapid depletion of small fields and easy re-configuration for service elsewhere. Enegi Oil and ABTechnology, via their joint venture ABT Oil and Gas, are working on a first potential application on the 10-MMbbl Fyne field in the UK central North Sea.| 2014

SUBSEA - Agnostic valve packs can assure ROV availability for subsea intervention - The success of intensive subsea interventions projects rests on three big elements: a work-class ROV, external kits, and the linking component between them — Valve packs. Therefore, as deep-water projects continue to increase and intervention projects increase in complexity, the need to source valve packs will rise. Agnostic valve packs can continue to benefit current and future projects in these circumstances because they are universally applicable.| 2014

Resident AUV system with subsea dock in development - As autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) operations increase in scale and complexity, the need for subsea persistence increases. The combination of Battelle and Ocean Works is developing resident AUV interface infrastructure that would make possible remote inspection and intervention without the need for surface support or complex umbilical handling systems.| 2014
