Fluid PVT (Pressure-Volume-Temperature) properties are fundamental to every stage of hydrocarbon engineering, influencing reserve estimates, production forecasts, and flow behavior in both reservoirs and wells. These properties may originate from laboratory experiments, empirical correlations, or equation-of-state models. While commercial simulators provide all these data sources, inconsistent application can lead to significant variations in outcomes. This […]

This work investigates the fracture resistance method for wellbore strengthening through modeling hydraulic fracture propagation and plugging using finite element analysis. Results reveal that plugging behavior and stress redistribution differ significantly between impermeable and permeable formations, with diffusion playing a critical role. The study highlights the limitations of elasticity-based simulators and emphasizes the importance of

Shah Deniz 2 is BP’s largest subsea development, delivering significant volumes of natural gas from Azerbaijan to Europe since 2018. This presentation provides an overview of the field development and subsea installation strategy, with a focus on the suction-can foundation structure, highlighting the first-ever installation of this type of seabed structure in the Caspian Sea.

Critical subsea connector bolts have been failing for over a decade, with the underlying causes still not fully understood. This study investigates the influence of preload torque, subsea water currents, and corrosion protection on the failure of ASTM A193 Grade B7 bolts using laboratory experiments and finite element analysis. Results indicate that each factor significantly

Gain valuable insights from industry experts with hands-on experience in Lebanese offshore data and regional analogues, and expand your understanding of strategies, risks, and opportunities

International standards are crucial for safe and efficient oil and gas operations, enabling interoperability across global projects. ISO/TC 67 develops international standards for petroleum and natural gas activities, while CEN/TC 12 adopts these standards at the European level. To support national engagement, Cyprus has established the CYS/TC 22 Hydrocarbons Committee, providing a platform for local

This presentation introduces key UNCLOS (United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea) concepts, including sovereignty, sovereign rights, and maritime zones such as territorial waters, the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), and the continental shelf. It then examines Cyprus’s efforts over the past two decades to define its maritime boundaries in accordance with international law.

The use of High-Visibility Safety Apparel (HVSA) is strongly recommended—or mandatory—in environments where personnel are exposed to moving vehicles or equipment. HVSA items such as vests, uniforms, coveralls, jackets, pants, hats, and wristbands enhance visibility and help reduce accident rates, particularly in offshore operations. This presentation is divided into two parts: LocationOnline Date3 February 2020

Covering well design, hardware selection, and operations, this presentation draws on the extensive experience of Mr. Alexis Kadis and Mrs. Alex Pruciak, who together have over 20 years of operator experience in the oil and gas industry. The talk will cover the full well cycle, including design, installation, and delivery, with a focus on risk

This presentation provides an overview of Multimarine Services Ltd, highlighting the company’s accreditations, affiliations, and capabilities, which set the stage for a deeper discussion on its core services and solutions. The session includes a review of major oil and gas projects undertaken in recent years, with a particular focus on marine drilling riser re-certification. An
