Course Introduction
The term SIPROD is associated with both Drilling and Production at the same time and location.
What is the process of offshore drilling?
Simultaneous drilling and production on offshore platforms are a common technique around the world owing to its significant benefits. These include the timely acquisition of crucial reservoir data to assure effective reservoir development with better economics relating. Concerning safety aspects, generally, this approach is not recommended owing to the dangers/risks involved in production and drilling. However, the possibility of early production and reduction in production downtime, which is financially beneficial, makes SIPROD an attractive option.
