The Evolution Of Composite Riser Systems: A different approach to managing corrosion in the pre-salt
June 15, 2021
Sponsored by: Magma
Corrosion costs the oil and gas industry $1.372 billion every year. No operator is more aware of the high costs of corrosion than Petrobras. In Brazil’s deepwater pre-salt reserves no pipe comprising metallics has so far evaded corrosion due to the combination of hydrogen sulfide, water and high temperatures. The problem has led Petrobras to look to Magma’s composite m-pipe. We have been working to qualify m-pipe in Brazil and share our initial results in this paper.

Keeping Connected: 6 remedies to prevent casing deformation and maintain wellbore integrity for a successful completion
April 12, 2021
Sponsored by: Packers Plus
Casing deformation can occur in any phase of a well’s lifecycle – completion deployment, stimulation treatment or during production – and the consequences of casing failure can be significant. It can result in a costly workover procedure, bypassing producing zones or complete abandonment of the well. This white paper elaborates on a few specific reasons for casing deformation, draws conclusions on possible remedies and examine results from a field study.
The rise of digital twins: Delivering on their promise
March 01, 2021
Sponsored by: Wood
The rise of Digital Twins...from science fiction to digital reality? In a galaxy far, far away the goal of digital twin technology was clear. From a digital representation, Princess Leia and her rebel commanders could pinpoint the imperial Death Star’s fatal flaw – and sent in their Jedi to destroy it. But can science fiction become a digital reality? The global market for digital twins is expected to grow 38 percent annually reaching $16 billion by 2023. Industries are looking to maximize their returns on capital expenditure on key strategic assets, whether it’s a new greenfield asset designed with optimal performance at its core or it’s modifying an existing strategic asset to increase yield and reduce cost. In reading this piece, explore how you can unlock the promise of digital twins across the asset lifecycle to be future ready now, in the real world.
Advancing Paraffin Control: Chemical Design and Evaluation
October 14, 2020
Sponsored by: SI Group
Successful field paraffin management relies on many important factors that impact both the production fluid and the production chemistries deployed, but one is commonly overlooked – ambient temperature. Like produced fluids, the properties of paraffin inhibitors, such as viscosity and pour point, are affected by declining temperatures. SI Group is developing robust and reliable paraffin inhibitors with improved solubility and stability for land-based and subsea applications that demonstrate exceptional performance in sub-optimal conditions and applications.
