PGS accepts its Meritorious Award for Engineering Innovation for its hyperBeam technology at the recent meeting of the European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers.

According the Brinker, the company's Platelet barrier technology - applied through the wellhead - can restore full production capacity in a matter of hours, compared to the 45-week period required by more traditional methods.

Offshore drilling contractor Transocean and Aker Solutions have designed a new modular derrick drilling machine named the MH MDDM 1000 AC that reduces repair time from days to a few hours.

Duane Dopkin, Senior Vice President of Technology for Paradigm, describes a new approach to seismic imaging that takes azimuth into account not only on the surface but in the subsurface as well.

Dr. Jaime Stein, chief geoscientist for Geotrace, describes a new methodology to determine, directly from seismic, the amount of horizontal anisotropy, which can be used to estimate fracture density and orientation.

The Argus AZ-10 tree can be operated from any rig regardless of moonpool size or moonpool access through the V door or port side. At 60,000 lbs, the Argus AZ-10 tree can be handled by second generation rigs using cranes from the boat to the moonpool without special preparation. The tree designed simplifies installation, which streamlines operations, making particularly valuable in developing small and marginal fields.

The granularity of measurement possible through use of fiber optics for measurement of deformation modes is demonstrated in this video clip that compares fiber strain, 2D strain profile, and DTS temperature profile outputs for well tubular wrapped with optical-fiber cable fitted with closely spaced strain sensors.

Judy Maksoud, Executive Editor of E&P magazine, talks with ice expert Dr. John Murray about the challenges of moving floating production into the Arctic.

By using the Portal Bit-enabled logging system, formation evaluation data is acquired with either wireline or memory tools, in the latter case while tripping drill pipe out of the well, thus improving rig efficiency.
