Nexstep to present at SWIPA conference (13-14 March) in Trondheim  On 13 and 14 March 2024, Nexstep has been invited by the organisers of the SFI SWIPA conference in Trondheim to share its knowledge of the recently concluded ‘Joint Well Campaign’ (JWC). In addition, Nexstep will be explaining the qualification process for the use of Through Tubing Cementation (TTC). Abroad, this technology is widely used for the dismantling of wells. The benefit of this method is that it does not require a drilling rig.  TTC   Nexstep promotes the sharing of knowledge, encourages effective and efficient regulation and implements innovative techniques. For example, Nexstep recently prepared a report on the qualification of the TTC technology in line with the current industry standard. During the conference, Nexstep will explain the approach for the qualification and will present the results of in-well testing.  JWC   The volume of decommissioning and dismantling activities is growing worldwide. Cooperation during dismantling activities increases both the effectiveness and efficiency. The positive results of the JWC campaign concluded by Nexstep at the end of 2023 underline the importance of cooperation. This is the first campaign anywhere in the world in which operators have collaborated on this scale in the dismantling of wells. During the conference, Nexstep will explain the procedures, the techniques employed, the lessons learned and the results of the JWC.  About SWIPA  SWIPA (Subsurface Well Integrity Plugging and Abandonment) is a centre for research-based innovation, appointed by the Norwegian Research Council. SWIPA aims to obtain a scientific understanding of the permanent dismantling of production wells and to promote innovative design methodologies.  #nexstep #decommissioning #collaboration #innovation #wells For the SWIPA conference programme, see: https://lnkd.in/dUE6AhZZ

Servka's leadership and technical representatives were invited to the #subseatieback forum and exhibition held Feb 27 - 29, 2024, in San Antonio, Texas, at Henry B. González Convention Center. This event culminated in an active engagement of Servka's managing director, Kadima Agostinho, PMP, MBA, with members of SUT (Society of Underwater Technology), of which he is a member, and his vivid participation in lessons learned sharing by #exxonmobil , #chevron , and #petrobras. Kady navigated through the following topics, some of which centered on projects that he was personally involved in as part of his subsea experience: AB15 Redevelopment Project - Infield Tieback Challenges in a Mature Field, by Darren Flowers – ExxonMobil He shared the challenges and lessons learned from the in-field program in a mature subsea field in Angola Block 15, including the Kizomba FPSOs. The discussion focused on controls obsolescence issues, considerations between using original equipment and tooling versus the latest/standard vendor offerings, blending original and current project specifications, and modification of existing equipment to meet new project requirements. Water-Alternating-Gas (WAG) Flowlines - Evolution and Maturation, presented by Rafaello Perotto and Lilia Bukahi - Petrobras The panel discussed the effective application of the WAG method in the Santos Basin pre-salt fields, consisting of alternated water and gas injection for reservoir management. The debate dived into some of the risks associated with the WAG strategy, such as the existence of a pressure class spec break in the XT, the risk of hydrate formation, and gas migration through the double barrier. The debate and discussion outlined some effective mitigations that Petrobras is currently implementing. Subsea Choke Vibration: Identification of Root Cause, Assessment of Fatigue Impact, and a Design to Mitigate, by Matt Dionne - Chevron Vibrations were detected on gas wells' subsea chokes during certain operational scenarios in transient conditions related to flow rate and pressure. After further analysis, including acoustic finite element analysis of the tree and choke, vibration measurement and modeling efforts were validated, leading to mitigation measures and their integration into standard operating procedures. Model validation allowed for the proposal of the choke plug and cage assembly design change, resulting in significant vibration force reduction. During the debate, Kadima stressed the importance of assessing possible effect of external forces acting on the choke, including hydrostatic pressure, to determine any potential correlation with the FEA results. We extend our appreciation to Endeavor Business Media, LLC, for organizing this year's conference, #mcdermott for sponsoring the students' design competition, and all participants who warmly engaged with us. We invite you to consult with Servka's #subseaengineering experts should you need project support or personnel training.

Hello Everyone and thank you for joining us weekly during our live Wed(NSI)days! This week we are excited to welcome our guest speakers Kevin Wutherich, Chief Technology Officer, and Erica Coenen, Innovation Lead, both with Drill2Frac Corporation, who will be sharing a presentation titled: The Impact of Near-Wellbore Properties on Fracture Development: An HFTS-2 Study In this talk, we will explore a unique study that began with a detailed analysis of existing drilling data to calculate near-wellbore rock properties and identify localized depleted fractures in four anonymized wells. Unknown to the Drill2Frac team, these wells had been included in the Hydraulic Fracturing Test Site (HFTS-2) project. This presented an intriguing opportunity to objectively correlate the HFTS-2 dataset with the rock properties and localized depletion anomalies derived from the drilling-data analyses. Our guest speakers will be sharing the insights of an eye-opening correlative study that confirms the powerful predictive and diagnostic capabilities derived from everyday drilling data. The findings will shed new light on fracture orientation, depleted volume, and the impact of rock heterogeneity on fluid uniformity along the wellbore. Join us this week in welcoming our guest speakers and to participate in what is sure to be a great discussion! When: Wednesday, April 17th at 9:00 am CT Topic: The Impact of Near-Wellbore Properties on Fracture Development: An HFTS-2 Study Guest Speaker(s): Kevin Wutherich, Chief Technology Officer, and Erica Coenen, Innovation Lead, both with Drill2Frac Corporation Host: Dante Guerra, Ph.D., President, NSI Technologies, LLC FREE Registration Link: https://lnkd.in/e8QWq5A #innovation #technology #energy #oilgas #production #oilandgas #cloud #hydrocarbons #offshore #oilandgasindustry #oilfield #oil #gas #petroleum #drilling #oilindustry #energystrong #onshore #oilandgasexploration #permianbasin #upstream #permian #completions #frac #shale #eagleford #reservoir #geomechanics #hydraulicfracturing #bakken
