This paper outlines two lesser-known types of torsional dynamics observed while drilling interbedded carbonate formations in the Middle East with the latest generation in point-the-bit rotary-steerable systems (RSSs).

The Nini East field represents a significant drilling challenge.

This paper discusses the design, manufacture, and application of a contiguous blade of polycrystalline diamond (PCD).

As the pace of exploration and production activity accelerates and the cost of drilling, evaluating, and completing wells continues to rise in complex deepwater and unconventional plays, operators are seeking new logging-while-drilling (LWD) tools that offer real-time measurements.

Carl Wiseheart Sherman, who held prominent positions in engineering, academia, and government, and was a former chair of the SPE Illinois Basin Section, died 5 August 2013. He was 90.

SPE created the A Peer Apart program to recognize dedicated individuals who have been involved in the peer review of 100 or more technical papers. Members who commit their time to review papers make substantial contributions to the industry’s literature by helping to ensure that the papers published in SPE’s technical journals are of the highest quality. Over time, th…

Every year, SPE recognizes members who have made an exceptional effort to ensure the technical excellence of the Society’s peer-reviewed journals. For their contributions, the following individuals are recipients of the 2013 Outstanding Technical Editor Award.

SPE delegates met with representatives of the Myanmar Ministry of Energy and the Myanma Oil and Gas Enterprise (MOGE) in Yangon in September. Among the items discussed were the potential for establishing an SPE section in Myanmar, and how the technical interests of MOGE could be served by SPE’s technical resources. Seven companies operating in the southeast Asian coun…

Reliable separation is becoming an enabling technology to help develop remote location resources and more difficult applications, such as heavy oil, produced water, sand disposal, and back-produced fluids in enhanced oil recovery.

A variety of low-cost technologies can result in an increase in production in mature oil and gas fields, although the increase is usually temporary and not always economical.
