This paper presents an alternative approach to designing and executing matrix-stimulation treatments in multilayered carbonate reservoirs.

The Western North America and Rocky Mountain SPE regions held their first joint conference, 15–18 April, in Denver, Colorado, at the Sheraton Downtown Denver Hotel. The gathering offered attendees a panel discussion featuring oil and gas commission chairs from five US states; networking events; an exhibition; and five short courses, both on conventional and on unconve…

The SPE Lagos Section 61 collaborated with the Lagos State Power Kids program to help bring Energy4me to 50 secondary schools in Lagos State, Nigeria. The Power Kids initiative was started by the state government for the purpose of teaching students about the importance of the efficiency and conservation of power usage, and is offered as an extracurricular club at sch…

SPE Europe funded Energy4me’s presence at the 2014 Big Bang UK Young Scientists and Engineers Fair in Birmingham, UK, held 13–16 March. SPE Europe’s GBP-10,000 allocation paid for logo display throughout the fair; stand space, including room for Energy4me activities—such as Exploring Core Sampling—in the fair’s “Energise Zone”; seats at the supporters’ dinner; and inv…

This month's papers are all offshore-related, covering a gas-to-liquids FPSO, facility startup, debottlenecking, and corrosion.

This paper reviews the mechanisms of initiation and the prevention of top-of-the-line corrosion (TLC). Recent research and developments are highlighted and validated to arrive at best practices for control of this significant corrosion manifestation.

The 2014 Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition (ATCE) will take place in Amsterdam. With its aging wells and processing facilities that present specific challenges, Europe is an interesting place for oil and gas production and applied separations technology.

The market for floating production systems is growing rapidly, with spending from 2014-2018 expected to increase more than 100% from the prior 5-year period. Factors such as increased local content contribute to growing expenditures.

Hydraulic fracturing solutions use a gelling agent known as guar gum to transport proppant. Flowback water can have guar gum concentrations has high as 1% by volume creating treatment challenges prior to reuse or disposal.

Flow assurance is a burgeoning field that offers many opportunities to young engineers—provided they are willing to develop expertise in a range of technical disciplines to obtain additional nontechnical skills.
