duced fluids while retaining the same
fail-safe mechanism as conventional safety
valves. AdvantageOne addresses the complexities of deepwater cementing with
the versatility to use the system in all
offshore environments. It enables remote
operations, has an integrated liquid additive
system for precise slurry blending, and
predictive maintenance capabilities with
shore-based monitoring to pre-empt equipment-related nonproductive time, accord-

ing to Halliburton.
Developed in collaboration with Shell
Offshore Engineering, Samoco Oil Tools
says its OneTrip tool can conduct required
BOP tests in a single trip, eliminating
the need for multiple trips along the stack
and reducing a rig's idle time by 50
percent or more.
The SBM Offshore-designed FPSO
for Shell's Stones project broke the water-depth production record when it

achieved first oil in September 2016. Operated by SBM Offshore, it is the second
FPSO deployed in the Gulf of Mexico
and is the first use of an advanced riser
configuration featuring steel lazy-wave
risers in a disconnectable production unit.
The FPSO's disconnectable buoy turret
mooring system supports steel risers while
allowing the vessel to quickly disconnect
and sail to safety in the event of an approaching storm.
Integrated MPD Solution
According to Schlumberger, its new
integrated MPD solution is the first complete, single-platform reservoir-to-flarestack system for deepwater applications,
helping operators minimize rig footprints
while maximizing drilling efficiency and
versatility. Meantime, the OptiDrill service
enables continuous real-time condition
monitoring by integrating a comprehensive
set of drilling dynamics and mechanical
information. The company says it mitigates
drilling risk and improves performance
by providing actionable information to
continuously identify hazardous drilling
dynamic events and recommend safe operating parameters.
The RFMS has been developed to
provide fatigue damage of drilling risers
and wellhead systems, reports Stress Engineering Services. The wellhead is the
last pressure containing barrier between
the well and environment, the company
notes, and managing loads ensures that
system integrity is not compromised and
protects the environment from hydrocarbon
discharges.
The cMIST solution replaces conventional triethylene glycol towers and associated separator vessels to meet pipeline
dew-point specifications, Sulzer explains,
adding that it achieves this goal with significant reductions in weight, footprint
and capital cost.
Techni's BAMSE pressure and temperature sensor is installed in the inaccessible B-annulus of oil and gas wells.
It uses no active electronics and is designed
for life-of-well reliability.
TechnipFMC says its HP/HT choke is
engineered to withstand life-of-field fatigue
without the need for hydraulic fluids. It
meets or exceeds API 17TR8 specifications,
and its plug-and-cage design leverages
proprietary HP/HT sealing technologies
and electric actuators, providing increased
controllability over traditional hydraulic
actuation technology.
