Oilfield Technology - October 2010
The October issue of Oilfield Technology opens with Gordon Cope’s regional report looking at the South American region. Following this are a couple of interesting articles discussing the need for managing risks, which is particularly relevant in light of the Macondo diasaster. Other features in this issue include articles on seismic technology, flowlines and pipelines, compression systems and well stimulation.
Oilfield Technology - September 2010
The September issue of Oilfield Technology is packed full of intriguing editorial including a range of topical articles on the digital oilfield, oilfield chemicals, fracturing techniques and artificial lift systems. This month’s regional report discusses industry developments in Russia and Central Asia, and this is followed by Cedigaz’s overview on shale gas in Europe.
Oilfield Technology - July 2010
The July 2010 issue of Oilfield Technology opens with an in depth discussion on the challenges ahead for oil and gas companies working in the North Sea region. Following this, Infield Systems considers how the Deepwater Horizon incident will affect the deepwater sector. Later on in the issue, our Contributing Editor, Gordon Cope, discusses fascinating developments in visualisation technology, which is succeeded by Paradigm’s interesting article on emerging exploration technologies. Other highlights in this issue include the Drill Bit Review 2010, as well as articles discussing innovative pumping systems, the benefits of rigless decommissioning and how to get the most out of satellite communications.
Oilfield Technology - April 2010
The April 2010 issue of Oilfield Technology opens with a regional report looking at the current state of play in North America. Following this, Brian Horsfield and Hans-Martin Schulz from the GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences provide an interesting examination on shale gas research and the future of European gas supply. Subsequent articles written by WesternGeco, Fugro-Geoteam and FairfieldNodal explore recent developments in offshore seismic. The offshore theme continues with articles by Kongsberg and INTECSEA considering FPSO technology, and Shell and Sulzer Pumps describing an innovative subsea separation and pumping system. Other highlights include a feature on fracturing and high pressure, high temperature drilling.
Oilfield Technology - February 2010
The February 2010 issue of Oilfield Technology opens with an article by Booz & Company discussing how unconventional resources will redefine the nature of competition in the natural gas sector. The subsequent articles by Schlumberger and BJ Services explore methods of unlocking unconventional resources, while Infield considers the future of Europe’s energy supplies in its regional report.
