STEPWISE SUBSEA - Increased recovery potential first led Statoil in 2003 to devote (USD)180 million to an R&D programme aimed at developing the subsea technologies that could boost ultimate output from its Norwegian fields opt by 1 billion boe. Now, as Darius Snieckus describes, that vision is being expanded to cut the cost of each subsea well by half as part of its 'MMX' ambitions

DUTCH DEPARTURE - A new gas development in the Dutch North Sea would generally be a minor item in the international offshore industry's newsday -- Unless that field happens to be K5F, the first-ever to feature subsea installations with all-electric trees and control systems. Darius Snieckus reviews operator Total's thinking

PEAK PERFORMANCE - Probabilistic theory may have its doubters, but you won't find any at Canadian indie Oilexco or drilling contractor Transocean after software developed by probabilistic pioneers the Peak Group was employed to good effect to appraise an oil structure in the central North Sea. Darius Snieckus talks to Peak's Andrew Paterson about growing belief in the 'Monte Carlo' model

SCOTLAND OFFSHORE - Bumper domestic and international order books have enlivened the Scottish offshore scene of late. In this month's regional special, edited by Darius Snieckus, OE hears from some of the leading lights in Aberdeen's evolving population of independent contractors, including Production Services Network's Bob Keiller, CSL's Keith Wallace and Peak's Andrew Paterson. We also review recent technological strides made by the likes of Pisys, Read Well Services, Equalizer and Futuretec, and report on a recent international JIP gathering in Aberdeen which signaled real progress at last on the subsea standardisation front

INDEPENDENT'S DAY - More than new oil companies as such, many argue that what the North Sea needs most to prolong its producing life are new E&P business models. Continuing his occasional series on the independents, Darius Snieckus checks in on Vienco, whose long-gestating, production-led operations approach is at last finding its niche

DIGITAL DOUBTS - Promoters of the digital oilfield of the future were quick to seize on a recent report estimating that the data-intensive oil industry could add 125 billion boe to its total worldwide resource base by integrating intelligent technologies into a seamless, IT-empowered whole. But, as Darius Snieckus discovers from Total IT guru Philippe Chalon, the numbers may not quite tally -- Yet, any rate
