The Application of Python Programming Language in the Automation of a Mathematical Model for Well Trajectory Selection Optimisation for a Given FieldBy Richard Amorin, Alexander Ofori Mensah, Samuel Kojo Annan Abakah
Abstract: Directional drilling plays a major role in the exploration and recovery of hydrocarbons. There are three basic trajectories that a well may follow. They include; Build-and-Hold, Build-Hold-andDrop and Continuous-Build Trajectories. The selection of a trajectory is usually based on experience/trial and error approach and may be associated with errors. This work has therefore developed a mathematical model that optimised the automatic selection of a well trajectory type for a given …

An Oil and Gas Retrofitted Carbon Capture Utilisation and Storage Value Chain: A Green IndustryBy Richard Amorin, Alexander Ofori Mensah
Abstract: Fossil fuel consumption continues to be crucial to industrialisation. It has continued to contribute to over 80% of the world’s total primary energy production for the past three decades. The primary cause of climate change, however, has been identified to be the rising greenhouse gases emission from the use of fossil fuels. Hence, a proposed solution to this is to switch to greener, lower-carbon energy sources. Despite growing concern over …
