据海上石油新闻网2019年5月30日沙特阿拉伯达兰报道，沙特阿拉伯国家石油公司（沙特阿美）在今年的海上技术会议（OTC）举办的两次会议上概述了沙特阿美的研究和开发（R&D）重点。
沙特阿美说，海上完井的腐蚀会引发严重的井完整性问题，需要进行昂贵的修井作业。
在OTC的“侵蚀和腐蚀预测”会议上，来沙特阿美的北部地区石油业务代表强调了采用非金属玻璃增强环氧树脂来保护完井设备免受各种腐蚀性元素的侵蚀。
沙特阿美公司还在由休斯敦大学创新灌浆材料和技术中心举办的智能材料会议上发表了一篇论文。论文涉及用于固井的添加剂的使用，其目的是修改或提高固井的强度和抗流体损失或气体泄漏的能力，以提高井的性能。
此外，沙特阿美在OTC的展台上还展示了各种新技术：用于油藏增产的新型混合酸化液，一种取代传统测井方法的不系绳的井下传感器工具，油井固井的增韧和固井钻井以及高温压裂液。

Aramco outlines R&D highlights at OTC
Saudi Aramco presented papers in two sessions at this year’s Offshore Technology Conference.
Corrosion in offshore well completions can cause serious well integrity issues and necessitate costly workover operations.
For the ‘Erosion and Corrosion Prediction’ session, representatives from the company’s Northern Area Oil Operations highlighted the deployment of a non-metallic, glass-reinforced epoxy to protect completion equipment against various corrosive elements.
Aramco also contributed to a paper at the Smart Materials session presented by the University of Houston’s Center for Innovative Grouting Materials and Technology. This covered the use of additives to cement, the aim being to modify or improve its strength and resistance to fluid loss or gas leaks in order to enhance well performance.
In addition, in-booth Aramco presentations showcased new hybrid acidizing fluids for reservoir stimulation; development of an untethered downhole sensor tool that replaces conventional well logging; toughening of oil well cements and drilling with cement; and work with high-temperature fracturing fluids.
