A new API recommended practice (RP) intends to provide a guide for managing annular casing pressure in offshore wells. An August workshop in Houston reviewed the draft proposal and solicited input ...

The casing lines the wellbore, keeping it insulated while protecting the soil and groundwater around it from being contaminated by mud, fracking fluids, and more. It is built to resist high loads and ...

The US Minerals Management Service has proposed that wells with subsea wellheads completed after Jan. 1, 2005, have the means for monitoring casing pressures. MMS issued a notice of proposed ...

Summary: Ideal conditions for geothermal power can create some of the biggest cementing challenges for wells. Where traditional cementing methods fail, tailored cement formulations and processes can ...
