    Understanding MPD complexity levels

    Determining the complexity of a managed-pressure drilling project can identify which tools to use to get it right the first time.

    New tools reduce spiraling

    The implementation of new technologies in Asia-Pacific increases drilling efficiency and improves the overall value of assets.

    Conventional mooring reaches deeper

    There is a huge demand for high-spec drilling rigs, and in remote areas of the world where comparatively little deepwater drilling is taking place, extending a rig’s mooring capability is one avenue operators have taken to contend with asset constraint.

    Fracturing Technology: Minimize fluid in energized fracs

    A new frac technique combines a concentrated proppant slurry and energized fluids for optimal stimulation with minimal fluid to flow back.

    Fracturing Technology: Faster time to market

    Fast and cost-effective, multizone stimulation using coiled tubing (CT) offers several advantages in a South Texas well.

    Supply matters

    Offshore drilling in the US has been drastically restricted since 1982. There is more reason than ever before to open access to the estimated 18 billion bbl of oil locked behind the dusty traps of legislation.
