Offshore Oil Rigs: Power, Equipment and Technology
Introduction Offshore oil and gas production involves the extraction of oil and gas from often extreme depths under the sea. Land-based drilling is much easier, but offshore production plays an essential role in the world’s energy supply. With 71% of the world’s surface as water, hydrocarbon deposits are found in larger quantities in the sea […]
Guyana: The New Star on the Global Oil Map
Exxon Guyana Oil Discoveries When Exxon first started drilling off the coast of Guyana, it hardly anticipated the oil price crash of 2014. The supermajor first struck oil in the Stabroek block in 2015, in the worst of the crisis. Since then, Exxon and its partner Hess have made 13 oil discoveries, tapping reserves that […]
BP scores a win off the Digital Oilfield
You may have missed this, but last month BP announced that a new field had been discovered in their Thunderhorse field. This is welcome news as the original T-Horse reservoirs are undergoing secondary recovery methods as production has declined. Thunderhorse produces from reservoirs buried more than 28,000′ BML. This new one is deeper still from a well […]
