What did Deepwater Horizon teach us about HPHT risks?
In the global oil and gas industry, companies are compelled to meet or exceed a vast array of environmental, health and safety standards. With high-profile cases, like last year's BP spill at the Deepwater Horizon rig in the US Gulf of Mexico, bringing these challenges increasingly into focus, there has never been more urgency for energy firms to manage the risks when drilling into high-pressure, high-temperature (HPHT) fields.
It is an inescapable reality that high-temperature and/or high-pressure drilling environments pose significant dangers to people, property and the natural world. These risks make equipment more likely to fail, which may ultimately lead to pressure issues and possible spills that can have enormous implications for the environment, not to mention the organisation responsible.
