Examples of our current and recent projects are -

	Reliability & risk assessment of conventional wells, Intelligent Wells and new Intelligent Well architectures, and of a range of different downhole equipment (for oil operators and for equipment vendors);
	Advising on better requirement specifications to cover reliability issues (for an oil operator);
	Manufacturing quality audits of downhole equipment vendors (for an oil operator);
	Coordinating the Intelligent Well Reliability Group - a Joint Industry Project involving 12 oil industry companies - operators, service companies and equipment manufacturers;
	Exploring the potential exploitation of imaging technology, developed for meteorological satellites, in other industries, particularly oil & gas (for the European Space Agency, and for a JIP consortium of 4 oil operators);
	Technology transfer and commercialisation of a novel plasma processing technology (for British Aerospace).
