This paper reviews the process of decommissioning offshore oil and gas facilities in the US Gulf of Mexico. It discusses the typical cost elements of decommissioning including planning, well plugging and abandonment, platform preparation, topsides and jacket removal, and site clearance. It provides details on the costs and time required for various tasks such as pipeline abandonment, conductor removal, and cutting and removing the platform jacket. The paper also gives an example cost estimate for decommissioning a typical 4-pile drilling/production platform and compares actual costs to estimated costs for several projects to evaluate estimate accuracy.
Intelligent well completion is emerging technology in E&P sector. It helps to reduce well interventions thus to save project cost. This technology has shown enormous potential in subsea development and marginal field developments.
Course Description
The business of fuelling the world through hydrocarbon production must be carried out with optimum profitability. Participants will learn how sand production and inadvertent formation damage can erode these profits. Methods and procedures will be presented to guide the participants in decision making with regard to completing a well with optimum control of formation sand while incurring minimal damage to the well or production zone. Extensive theory will be presented illustrating why certain practices should either be employed or strictly avoided. The very latest in the use of forecasting methods, tools, techniques, and personal experiences will be presented.
By attending the 5 day training course, you will be able to:
Assess how rock will fail and how this analysis is used to determine the appropriate sand control method.
Interpret particle size distribution data.
Determine the appropriate sand control method when provided with appropriate reservoir and production data.
Select completion equipment and associated tooling for sand control (screens, gravels, work strings, barrier valves etc.)
Produce an outline installation procedure for the main types of sand control.
Troubleshoot sand control problems.
This 5 day training course is designed to give you a comprehensive account of methods and techniques used in modern well testing and analysis. Subsequently to outlining well test objectives and general methodologies applied, the course will provide real case studies and practice using modern software for Pressure Transient Analysis. These exercises will demonstrate clearly the limitations, assumptions and applicability of various techniques applied in the field.

Integrated Oil Field Development Plan - FDP.
The integrated oil field development plan describes process, explores options, and targets, aimed at the optimal oil and gas field development in line with the oil company strategy.
The spine in the process is the specialist teams who navigate, manage and integrate the subsurface and surface complexities, uncertainties and opportunities into a single development plan, maximizing the overall field recovery and asset value.
Presentation defines well completion as a sub-discipline of drilling operations. It introduces the various components of the well completion process. It then describes and explains basic areas of the completion process including the bottom-hole completion process, the perforation process, the upper completion with packers, tubing component equipment and devices, tubing configurations, the horizontal completions and the Christmas tree(production head)

Each offshore platform reaches the end of its lifetime at some point, and this necessitates decommissioning. This activity must be done safely, cost effectively and with as little environmental pollution as possible. While the life spans of these installations cover decades, they have not generally been designed with efficient decommissioning in mind. Moreover, the places where the facilities have been constructed are pivotal in defining the safest and most sustainable decommissioning method.
This 3 day training course will address the key issues surrounding an offshore decommissioning project. You will be exposed to key lessons learnt from Frigg, NW Hutton and Ekofisk, as well as lesson specifically derived from projects in based in Asia. The course will also assist in understanding the planning and decision analysis in decommissioning projects and costs involved.

North Sea Decommissioning Market Forecast 2016-2040 Leaflet and ContentsDouglas-Westwood
Douglas-Westwood’s new North Sea Decommissioning Market Forecast 2016-2040 predicts that between 2016 and 2040 $70-$82 billion (bn) will be spent on decommissioning activity in Denmark, Germany, Norway and the UK; a marked increase on any past work that has been completed, as the region enters a permanent decline.
Advanced training for construction management: CONTRACTS MANAGEMENT part 2 (...Antonio Coladarce
PART 2 is dedicated to an experiences section of CONTRACTS MANAGEMENT (active and passive contracts, i.e. those with final customers and with subcontractors, respectively).
Presentation is prepared for an advanced course dedicated to Construction Management, refer to PART 1 also. There is a lesson for both parts not fully translated in English (course was for Italian speaking Construction Engineers, Managers and Site Mnagers)
The offshore wind industry has seen a dramatic increase in concern over the costs and practicalities of operations and maintenance (O&M). There are strategic and operational concerns in the market: Strategically, projects will find finance more accessible and affordable if they can demonstrate properly developed O&M policies and costings for their planned wind farms; operationally because people need to know what challenges they are likely to face throughout the wind farm lifetime.
However, while in broad terms the industry is aware of problems arising from unforeseen failures or costs, objective data related to costs and performance has been hard to obtain from multiple sites to provide reliable benchmarks for O&M performance and practices.
This international study brings together critical information and analysis in one clear and digestible report; providing much-needed information on O&M costs, practices, cost drivers and the future evolution of O&M. This provides concrete information for the first time to the whole offshore wind industry including policy setters, R&D organisations, investors and manufacturers as well as wind farm operators and developers.
Because of the confidential nature of the source data, some information is presented as averages, aggregates or in an anonymised fashion. However, this provides the only comprehensive and coherent opportunity to benchmark O&M activities, costs and performance against the rest of the industry.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA’s) Office of Air Quality Planning
and Standards (OAQPS) is compiling information on lime manufacturing plants as part of its
responsibility to develop National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
(NESHAP) under Section 112 of the 1990 Clean Air Act. The NESHAP is scheduled to be
proposed in 2000, and the Innovative Strategies and Economics Group is responsible for
developing an economic impact analysis (EIA) in support of the evaluation of impacts
associated with the regulatory options considered for this NESHAP. This industry profile of
the lime manufacturing industry provides information to be used to support the regulation.
Marine transport is a critical means of moving people and goods around the littoral waters of Southeast
Alaska. Unfortunately, it also generates significant harmful emissions. Tidelines Institute, a Southeast
AK-based leader in environmental education and research, requires a more environmentally friendly
propulsion system for their vessel, Tara. This project designed a serial hybrid propulsion system for
Tara, furnishing Tidelines with a bill of materials, design documentation, implementation diagrams, CAD
drawings, operational analysis software, and a life cycle assessment. This design will take advantage of
the substantial hydro power resources in the region and help Tidelines be an agent of structural change.
