Back issues
Oilfield Technology - October 2011
The October issue of Oilfield Technology presents a regional report of Asian oil and gas, and a lead feature on future energy options and synergies. There are also interesting articles on the industry-wide recruitment challenges, land seismic, and downhole tools and analysis. Our correspondent, Gordon Cope’s article ‘Shattering the gas ceiling’, delves into the controversies surround hydraulic fracturing and its importance to the industry. This issue will also take a couple of different looks at the broadly defined term, flow assurance.
Oilfield Technology - September 2011
The September issue of Oilfield Technology takes a regional focus on Brazil, and also features articles on the topics of exploration challenges, managing risks and dealing with uncertainty in reservoir management.
Oilfield Technology - August 2011
This month our regional report focuses on North Sea oil and gas, to support our presence at the Offshore Europe conference in Aberdeen, UK. It features a lead article from Douglas-Westwood, examining European offshore developments, while technical articles on the challenges of well abandonment and decommissioning explore this area from another point of view. The issue also showcases articles on completion technology, subsea advances and marine seismic methodology.
Oilfield Technology - June 2011
The June issue of Oilfield Technology covers Arctic oil and gas exploration issues, and takes a regional look at Russia. We also offer articles on oilfield chemicals, seismic processing and interpretation, drill bit technology and HPHT challenges.
Oilfield Technology - April 2011
The April issue of Oilfield Technology looks at North America, with a particular focus on deepwater expertise - exploration, drilling and production.
Oilfield Technology - March 2011
The March issue of Oilfield Technology begins with an article that examines prospects offshore West Africa. The Foreign & Commonwealth Office also looks at the prospects of the Nigerian oil and gas industry.
