Place: 
London, UK
Date: 
19/10/2015 – 21/10/2015
Summary: 

The current, low oil prices are forcing companies to operate increasingly austere high pressure high temperature drilling and completion projects. With reduced manpower and stringent budget allowances, extreme pressure is being placed on HPHT managers whose business has been exposed to greater vulnerability. However, this also allows specialists to seize this moment as an opportunity to find tangible techniques to minimise downtime and expenditure while maximising efficiency, which is imperative for a successful project lifecycle.

Additionally, while the oil prices are low, they will rise again and investment will return even heavier in the near future. By being prepared for this inevitability you will be much better placed to manage projects in this space and understand the most contemporary technology available for robust well design, rig monitoring, pressure testing, mechanical testing and modelling, managed pressure drilling, facility interfacing, narrow margin drilling, among the plethora of engineering techniques and drilling safety.

The 11th Annual HPHT Wells Summit will align itself with current market conditions in HPHT drilling, engineering, production and completion to ensure companies have the opportunity to systematically optimise the design of new projects, complete existing projects and come to grips with the latest technology in the market to minimise the effect of decreased budget and manpower.

Expected global case studies on Imsa, the Nile Delta and Culzean will explore optimal high pressure high temperature well development.
