August 2009
The August 2009 issue includes overviews of both the challenges and opportunities for the offshore oil and gas industry in Northern Europe and for the Indian oil and gas sector. Consultants Booz & Co. look at how digital oilfield technology can provide real benefits in preparing 'people' for the long term challenges faced in exploration and production whilst KBR demonstrate how perfect planning prevents poor performance. Issue also features technical articles on intelligent well completion, oilfield chemicals and artificial lift systems.
