Read the press release: OTC 2017 Announces Spotlight on New Technology Award Recipients
The BigBore-IIe™ is a fully qualified wellhead system consisting of a DXe™ connection profile, integral high-capacity hanger lock-down, superior system fatigue, and high-capacity running tools. The BigBore-IIe provides significant drilling cost savings by reducing the number of trips into the well, elimination of drilling/production lock-down equipment, and allows for reduction of casing strings.
Dril-Quip’s DXe™ wellhead connector, suitable for HPHT and severe cyclic load environments, has a highly engineered locking profile and gasket design providing high structural capacity and high fatigue-resistance resulting in longer service life. The technology of this critical connection is validated beyond API-16A-PR2/API-TR7 requirements with both structural and fatigue physical testing.
The Omnirise miniBooster is the world’s first barrierfluid-less and seal-less pump intended for permanent subsea applications down to 3000 meters. The system includes a unique subsea electric Variable Speed Drive, and was successfully qualified as part of NOVs’ Active Subsea Cooler system in partnership with Statoil, Shell, Chevron, Total and GE.
The Halliburton EcoStar™ Electric Tubing-Retrievable Safety Valve is the world’s first electric downhole safety valve (e-DHSV). The valve eliminates hydraulic fluid to enable a fully electric completion system with zero risk of exposing electronics to produced wellbore fluids while retaining the same failsafe mechanism as today’s conventional safety valves.
The HCS AdvantageOne™ offshore cementing system addresses the complexities of deepwater with the versatility for use in all offshore environments. This intuitive system enables remote operations, has an integrated liquid additive system for precise slurry blending, and predictive maintenance capabilities with shore based monitoring to help preempt equipment-related non-productive time.
In collaboration with Shell Offshore Engineering, Samoco Oil Tools has engineered, manufactured and tested OneTrip®, a revolutionary BOP testing tool. Samoco’s OneTrip® can conduct required BOP tests in one trip, eliminating the need for multiple trips along the stack and reducing a rig’s idle time by a minimum of 50%.
Stones FPSO’s innovative Turret Mooring System (TMS) incorporates a series of enabling technologies to become the deepest mooring system of any floating production unit, and the first disconnectable TMS to support steel risers. These new technologies will facilitate future developments in ultra-deep water, and of high pressure high temperature reservoirs.
The Schlumberger managed pressure drilling (MPD) integrated solution is the industry’s first complete, all-OEM, reservoir-to-flare-stack deepwater MPD system. When MPD design, engineering, manufacturing, system integration, well engineering, and onsite well delivery services are delivered from one platform and from a single supplier, operators minimize rig footprint while maximizing drilling efficiency and versatility.
A Real Time Fatigue Monitoring System (RFMS) has been developed to provide fatigue damage of drilling riser, and wellhead systems. The wellhead is the last pressure containing barrier between the well and environment. Managing the loads ensures that system integrity is not compromised, and protects the environment from hydrocarbon discharge.
ExxonMobil Upstream Research Company’s new Compact Mass transfer and Inline Separation Technology (cMIST™) replaces conventional TEG towers and associated separator vessels to meet pipeline dewpoint specifications. cMIST™ achieves this goal with significant reductions in weight, footprint and cost. cMIST™ for dehydration is licensed to SULZER for onshore and offshore applications.
BAMSE (B-Annulus Monitoring System) is a pressure and temperature sensor for installation in the B-annulus of oil and gas wells. The BAMSE system uses no active electronics in the inaccessible B-annulus and is designed for life-of-well reliability.
TechnipFMC 20k HPHT subsea choke is designed to withstand life-of-field fatigue in high-pressure, high-temperature oil and gas production environments without the need for hydraulic fluids. It meets, or exceeds, API 17TR8. Its plug-and-cage design leverages proprietary HPHT sealing technologies and TechnipFMC’s G2i electric actuator, providing increased controllability over traditional hydraulic actuation technology.
The Continuous Drilling & Circulation Unit (CDU) – is the heart of the CMR Technology, offering the world´s first continuous drilling operation, and is also the world’s first fully robotized circulation unit. The CDU substantially (up to 50 %) reduces the overall time of drilling operations because it eliminates down-hole problems associated with differential sticking and pressure fluctuations and reduces safety risk by removing all personnel from the rig floor during the drilling operation.
Wild Well’s DeepRange intervention tool delivers a groundbreaking plug and abandonment solution in a riserless package. The robust ROV-driven technology offers a minimally invasive solution that maintains wellbore integrity while providing a cost-effective yet high-quality option that will change the way subsea P&A operations are done for years to come.
The Torden™ High Power Pinless Subsea Connector is WiSub’s next-generation product developed in collaboration with NOV to increase connection reliability between BOP and LMRP. This innovation is further standardizing AUV & ROV connections, combining patented high-speed data transfer with highly-compact resonant power transfer. Torden™ delivers improved mating tolerances and reliability.
