    Intelligent completions for better reservoir management

    First conceived as alternatives to costly or technically difficult interventions, intelligent wells that can be monitored and controlled remotely have evolved into a powerful reservoir management tool. As a result, after initially slow industry-wide uptake, their number is projected to increase fivefold in the next five years.

    New OSVs move function from supply to support

    The move to deeper water has required more specialized and technically sophisticated vessels to support complex deepwater field developments. As a result, today’s offshore support vessels are a far cry from their predecessors.

    Gearing up to go the distance

    The oil and gas industry has been aware of the constrained offshore rig market for some time, but unbeknownst to many, helicopter service providers are fighting the same battle in the air.

    Rethinking emergency evacuation strategies

    Following recent developments in the offshore industry, the time could now be right for operators to review their emergency transfer options and take a more comprehensive approach.
