Deepwater/Subsea Innovations: Advances in technology to support a growth market

December 07, 2023
Sponsored by: World Oil, Petroleum Economist, DES and MCEDD
The deepwater/subsea market is in the early days of a long-duration upcycle, as operators seek to replenish baseload, low-decline-rate oil and gas production. In pursuing this goal, operators are seeking to further improve efficiencies and economics, so technical innovation remains crucial. This e-book collection of recent World Oil articles reflects advances in various deepwater/subsea categories, including tie-back engineering, casing drilling, well delivery, subsea umbilical installation, improved FPSO performance, deepwater MPD operations and riser life extension, among others.

How Additive Manufacturing Can Aid the Oil, Gas, and Chemical Industry: Corrosion-Proofing by Infusion of Interstitial Solute, Exemplified for Alloy 22

AM (additive manufacturing) is a rapidly developing field for rapid prototyping and producing near-net-shape products that are impossible to produce by conventional methods. In this article, we prove the concept of corrosion proofing of AM alloy parts by low-temperature infusion of interstitial solute for the example of Alloy 22 parts made by LPBF (laser powder-bed fusion). For post-processing of these parts, we employed our newly developed process of LTNC-SRP (low-temperature nitrocarburization by solid-reagent pyrolysis). The results highlight how this new process can specifically address problems inherent to alloy parts made by AM.

Unlocking bypassed resources - Advanced coiled tubing drilling solutions for mature assets

April 23, 2025
Sponsored by: Baker Hughes
In mature assets, operators may discover that hydrocarbons were missed during initial phases of extraction due to a variety of reasons ranging from limited surface slots and reservoir compartmentalization to inefficient sweeps or fluids migration. In this webcast, we will explore how the application of coiled-tubing technologies with fit-for-purpose solutions can tap into hydrocarbons missed during initial phases of extraction—boosting recovery from existing reservoirs while reducing the operational carbon footprint. The webcast will include success stories demonstrating how a portfolio of coiled-tubing drilling technologies has been applied in drilling new wells, side tracks, slot recovery, well deepening, and infill drilling.

Path to Carbon Reduction Future: Enterprise GHG Emission Accounting and Management

April 30, 2025
Sponsored by: Envana
Path to Carbon Reduction Future: Enterprise GHG Emission Accounting and Management will be a joint webinar by Envana and PETRONAS, offering a deep dive into real-world experiences in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions management. This session will provide a detailed case study on how PETRONAS is implementing best practices in carbon accounting, identifying key success factors, and overcoming common challenges. Experts from both organizations will share what is working, potential pitfalls, and strategies to navigate them effectively. The discussion will cover GHG data accuracy, compliance with reporting frameworks (e.g., GHG Protocol), and the role of digital tools in streamlining emissions tracking and reduction efforts. Attendees will gain practical insights into aligning sustainability goals with operational realities, leveraging technology for emissions management, and building a resilient, low-carbon strategy. This session is ideal for sustainability leaders, ESG professionals, and corporate decision-makers looking to refine their GHG management approach.
