Sitting just on the edge of production possibilities are the world’s HP/HT and ultrahigh pressure and temperature reservoirs. From
completions to materials selection to flow assurance and more, HP/HT wells have challenged and will continue to challenge operators to develop and apply the technologies necessary to justify the development of these fields.

This month’s cover feature looks at the HP/HT production advances in field monitoring, artificial lift in heavy oil applications and how two operators are taking very different approaches to deliver results in two very different offshore fields.
