The health, safety, and environment (HSE) discipline is one of the broadest in SPE, from the perspectives of both its scope and its cross-discipline impact. As JPT celebrates 75 years, former HSE Technical Director Roland Moreau examines some of the defining moments in the history of HSE in the industry, the growth of the discipline, and the challenges it still faces. -
Losing drill-hungry independent and private companies in the region to robust M&A will mean an activity slowdown that is expected to impact volumes coming from the nation’s largest oil field.

Traditional oil extraction methods hit a snag in noncontiguous fields, where conventional flow-based EOR techniques falter. In southwest Texas, a producer faced imminent shutdown of its canyon sand field due to rapid production decline. Field tests using elastic-wave EOR determined whether the field could be revitalized or if a costly shut-in process was inevitable.

Longtime JPT Technology Editor Dennis Denney discusses his career at SPE and the development of the magazine’s Technology Focus feature.
We’re excited to begin the year with the commemoration of JPT’s 75th anniversary. This issue launches our special features dedicated to JPT’s reporting of technology and practices over the past 7½ decades.
Highlights of innovations in fracturing, drilling, and reservoir engineering include mysterious gummy bears, horseshoe-shaped wells, and automated rigs.
Find out what made the list of big technology breakthroughs that have shaped the oil and gas industry over the past quarter century.
The topics covered in JPT’s Technology Focus feature span the breadth of the upstream industry. A review of these topics over the years illustrates the changes that have affected E&P professionals.

A 44-well development tests what ConocoPhillips has learned about maximizing the value of the wells by figuring out how they drain the reservoir. -
Jennifer L. Miskimins is the nominee for 2026 SPE President. She and six others make up the new slate of nominees recommended for positions open on the SPE International Board of Directors. -
The use of oil-based muds has precluded countless drill cuttings from being used to predict reservoir fluids despite once being part of the reservoir. A 6-decade-old technology may be on the cusp of changing that. -
To avoid costly interventions like sidetracking or wellbore abandonment, a check-valve system was installed near the sandface within three injector wells which prevented the mobilization of fines from the reservoir into the wellbore by stopping backflow.
