The document summarizes the pre-commissioning of the Nord Stream natural gas pipelines, which transport natural gas from Russia to Germany. Some key points:
- Nord Stream consists of two 1,224 km pipelines running along the Baltic Sea floor, the longest single-section offshore pipelines ever built.
- Pre-commissioning included flooding the pipelines with water, cleaning and gauging them using pigs, then pressure testing and dewatering prior to gas commissioning.
- Effective planning was required to coordinate the complex offshore and onshore pre-commissioning activities given constraints like winter freezing of the Baltic Sea.
- Offshore operations used a vessel-based spread for flooding, cleaning and gauging. On
This document describes the TOPS (TOPS Offshore Production Systems) concept for offshore oil and gas production. TOPS aims to eliminate conventional rigs and platforms by using a ship-based system for continuous exploration, production, processing, and transport. The system would include a mooring tower, subsea well template, and a converted tanker ship equipped for drilling, production, and initial processing directly at the offshore location. The goal is to significantly reduce costs and risks compared to traditional offshore infrastructure.
The document discusses two options for developing the Tentalum oil field:
1. Export the oil via a 50km offshore pipeline and 500km onshore pipeline to an existing onshore facility. A fixed piled structure is recommended to process the oil offshore before export via pipeline.
2. Blend the Tentalum oil with the existing production from the nearby Palladium Platform. This option would be initially cheaper but may not be as financially beneficial long-term.
The document recommends the first option of building an offshore structure and exporting via pipeline, as relying solely on the Palladium Platform seems risky without additional infrastructure.

SPE 165151 - The Long-term Production Performance of Deep HPHT Gas Condensat...John Downs
Formate brines have been in use since 1995 as non-damaging drill-in and completion fluids for deep HPHT gas condensate field developments. The number of HPHT fields developed using formate brines now totals more than 40, and includes some of the deepest, hottest and highly-pressured reservoirs in the North Sea. The well completions have been both open-hole and cased-hole.
An expectation from using formate brines as reservoir drill-in and completion fluids is that they will cause minimal damage to the reservoir and help wells to deliver their full productive potential over the life-time of the field. The validity of this expectation has been tested by examining the long-term hydrocarbon production profiles of eight HPHT gas condensate fields in the North Sea where only formate brines have been used as the well completion fluids. In five of these fields the wells were drilled with oil-based muds and completed by perforating in cased hole with high-density formate brines. In another two of the fields the wells were drilled with formate brines and completed with screens entirely in open hole using the same brines. The last of the eight fields was drilled with formate brine and the wells were then completed with same fluid in either open hole or cased hole.
The results of the production analysis provide a unique insight into the impact of a single type of specialist drill-in and completion fluid on the rate of recovery of hydrocarbon reserves from deeply-buried reservoirs in the North Sea
This document discusses the importance of contact area, conductivity, and connectivity in multi-fractured horizontal wells. It defines these terms and explains how they impact production over the life of a well. The document discusses factors that influence contact area, conductivity, and connectivity such as fracture spacing, proppant selection, and overflush volumes. It concludes that while contact area and conductivity have improved through more stages, clusters, and proppant, connectivity remains an underaddressed issue due to large overflush volumes.
This document discusses water injection techniques for secondary oil recovery including:
- Water injection maintains reservoir pressure and improves sweep efficiency. Calculations of IVC and CVC are used to evaluate injection schemes.
- Performance plots show increased oil rates and water cuts rising after starting injection.
- A profile modification job using polymers controlled injection into specific intervals of a well and reduced water cuts in offset producers.
- Low salinity water flooding can improve oil recovery through wettability alteration and is a potential enhanced oil recovery method.

This document discusses flow assurance challenges for developing the remote Shtokman gas field in the Arctic and outlines strategies to manage the risks. It describes the field and harsh environment, outlines the development plan including offshore and onshore facilities, and identifies key flow assurance risks like hydrate formation, corrosion, and liquid accumulation. It then details strategies to manage these risks through chemical injection, pipeline design and insulation, fluid processing, and operating procedures. The development aims to safely produce gas from this remote Arctic field.
Coiled tubing is a unique fluid and tool conveyance means used to intervene throughout the entire well lifetime. Its flexibility of use is certainly one of the largest in the oil-and-gas industry, ranging from logging to stimulation to cleanout and even drilling. However, for the longest time, it was only seen as a rudimentary fluid conveyance system, despite its capability to service any well deviation.
With the development of instrumented tools for downhole point measurements and the use of fiber optics for distributed sensing, the recent advent of coiled tubing real-time monitoring has completely transformed this image. The access to live wellbore information—such as pressure, temperature, or flow—along with accurate depth control thanks to casing collar locator and gamma ray sensors have greatly enhanced fluid placement. Meanwhile, the ability to monitor the load, torque, and accelerations the bottomhole assembly is subjected to significantly improves the performance and possibility to use and manipulate downhole tools. Thanks to real-time monitoring, a whole new realm of optimization possibility was discovered.
This lecture describes the various real-time measurements that are available today during coiled tubing interventions and how they can be used to provide the industry with faster, safer, and more efficient operations while maximizing return on investment. A wide range of applications and examples will be discussed. Through them, one will be able to appreciate how coiled tubing has now entered a new era where the limits of operational optimization still have not been reached.

Oil and gas industry is changing and moving to deep and ultra deep water which come with new challenges for the current risers design . so i proposed a new design which will change the industry and help drill oil and gas in ultra deep waters
Key aspects of reservoir evaluation for deep water reservoirsM.T.H Group
The document summarizes key aspects of reservoir evaluation for deep water projects. It discusses challenges including geomechanics, reservoir characterization of thin beds and compartmentalization, and flow assurance requiring accurate fluid characterization. Reservoir characterization is identified as the biggest risk due to complex lithology, thin beds, and low contrast pay. Accurate fluid analysis and asphaltene characterization can help determine reservoir connectivity. Operator priorities include minimizing operational risk through rig efficiency and completion/production reliability. Reservoir evaluation is critical for deep water projects due to significant costs.
This document discusses sea water cooling towers. It provides an overview of why industries use sea water cooling systems, the typical infrastructure requirements like intake structures and piping, and the main types of cooling including once-through and evaporative cooling. It also describes advantages of circular cooling towers like lower costs and maintenance needs compared to mechanical draft towers. The case study of Jubail Industrial City in Saudi Arabia outlines the large-scale sea water cooling system used to provide cooling to multiple industrial plants.
This technical presentation provides an overview of horizontal directional drilling (HDD) technology and how it can help develop secure pipeline infrastructure in Nigeria. HDD involves drilling a pilot hole underground at a slight angle and enlarging the hole to pull pipelines through, allowing for land/water/road crossings with minimal environmental impact. The presentation outlines factors affecting pipeline development in Nigeria, HDD applications, procedures like site preparation and pullback, required equipment, and benefits like protection from damage. HDD can help address challenges like vandalization through deep burial of pipelines.

MULTI FLOWING TUBING PRESSURE (FTP)
• Maximize use of reservoir energy as long as does not affect
production rate.
• Keep each well in as high pressure system as possible for as
long as possible.
• Manifold individual well flowlines to each stage to allow each
well production to be routed individually without interfering
with others.
