The term "deepwater" has always been defined in terms of where offshore technology stood at a given moment. In the early 1960s, 500-foot water depths placed a practical limit on offshore drilling capabilities; by 2003, the water depth record had surpassed 10,000 feet. This Topic describes the equipment and technology that have made such advances possible. Starting with an overview of worldwide drilling activity, it looks at the characteristics of deepwater environments and the challenges they pose with respect to rig requirements and offshore project management. It goes on to discuss the systems, equipment and considerations involved in deepwater well planning, design and construction. It then examines some of the innovative solutions to deepwater drilling challenges, ranging from riserless drilling to dual activity operations. Finally, it presents several case studies to show how these solutions have been applied in the Gulf of Mexico, offshore eastern Canada and the North Sea.

This topic covers the engineering design and construction aspects of oil and gas pipelines. Discusses pipeline history, key design considerations (including hydraulic calculations and mechanical strength), onshore and offshore constructions practices, cost estimating, current operating practices and potential operating problems.

The development and production of an oil or gas field is among the most involved and challenging business undertakings. Learn the steps involved in field development, from its initial planning stages, through reservoir analysis, subsurface design and construction of surface facilities. This course also covers components of long-term production, reservoir management and facilities maintenance.

Introduces the tools that make up a typical drill string, including the kelly, the drill pipe, and the components of the bottomhole assembly. Describes design, selection, performance and evaluation of common drill bit types. Emphasizes the general application of various downhole tools and development of sound drilling practices.

Generate a geological reservoir model. Define reservoir in terms of continuity, lithology, facies distribution, structural geometry and style. Using the petrophysical parameters developed from well log analysis, estimate the original oil and gas volume in place. Establish geological reservoir model define, objectives and modeling tasks. Review reservoir architecture, reservoir properties and their distribution, and integrate for construction of a static geological model. Integrate seismic horizons and facies into the geological model. Estimate original hydrocarbons in place.
