ENBD  -  Eni Near Balance Drilling

 

This process is a technology that allows to control pressure in drilling systems  obtaining a particular distinction because it consents a continued fluid circulation in every phase, keeping a fixed ring pressure on the bottom of the oil well. This technology empowers the intervention on complex reservoir systems, with positive impacts on both the chances of success and on drilling safety.

New vanadium free low environmental impact Ziegler-Natta catalysts for ethylene-α-olefine copolymers production

 

This process is a technology capable of producing materials with high level performances and mechanical properties superior to standard products, based on the employment of new, high-performance, catalyst polymerization. This new technology also consents to achieve real improvements on the environmental aspects of the process, removing catalytic residuals from products and manufactures and allows to give an appreciable, tangible and innovative contribution to the complex problematics created by the disposal of exhausted catalytic converter.

System and a method for continuous monitoring of the impacts on pipelines for fluid transport, particularly suitable for underwater pipes

 

The patent concerns a system and a method for continuous monitoring of the impacts on pipelines for fluid transport, particularly suitable for underwater systems and characterized by ground sensors installation . This new technology, based on remote sensing of thermoacoustic emissioss created by impact, is of great importance for infrastructural safety, in particular for natural gas pipelines.
