So far, digital twins have focused mainly on mimicking small, well-defined systems. Integrated asset models, however, tend to address the bigger picture. In this video, Distinguished Lecturer Kristian Mogensen addresses whether we can take the best from both worlds, whether we need to, and how to go about developing such a technical solution.

The SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition kicked off with an in-depth discussion of the challenges facing the oil and gas industry, including the energy transition and the industry’s role in it.

Founded by former analytics experts for a large US independent, Xecta Digital Labs is proposing a new analysis method for horizontal wells. Adopting it means turning the page on some old habits.

The ATCE Startup Village is a partnership between SPE and the Rice Alliance for Technology and Entrepreneurship at Rice University. Find out which firms took this year's top honors during the annual competition.

Following an election for three open positions on the Board of Directors, members have elected our new SPE Board members.

This year, six individuals join this elite group, bringing the total membership of A Peer Apart honorees to 198 dedicated members.

An automated detection application helped identify stringers early for an operator of a mature field in the North Sea while drilling multilateral wells through reservoir sections containing hard calcite stringers interspersed in sand formations with low unconfined compressive strength. The application guided drilling decisions that minimized invisible lost time and sh…

This case study demonstrates an estimated cost savings of AICD completions in six wells of more than $20 million in capital and operating expenses compared with a more conventional sliding side door completion to manage gas breakthrough.
