The oil and gas industry must balance global energy demands with stricter environmental regulations, particularly in drilling, where risks and complexities are higher. Innovative technologies, like those used in this stuck-pipe scenario offshore Azerbaijan, are key to overcoming these challenges and improving safety, speed, and efficiency.

Oil price visibility, projects competing for funds, and regional market softness are all factors resulting in muted demand for deepwater rigs this year.

Almost every day, petroleum engineers are coming to realize that they’ve got an arsenal of good ideas on how to leverage large, messy data sets to add value to their businesses. Those who have enlisted in the Analytics Army have progressed from siloed digitalization attempts to well-concerted digital transformation strategies that reflect high levels of organizational…

CO₂ enhanced oil recovery (EOR) provides an attractive and commercially established technique to store CO₂ underground. EOR modeling is crucial because complex simulation is required to predict the behavior of CO₂ and its interaction with the oil and reservoir rock.

This month’s column offers a review of the perceived quality of SPE's publications and how this perceived quality could affect the value and impact of SPE's generative AI deliverables. Quality can be subjective, so this column focuses on key publication indicators before assessing remedial options in a future column.

Richard (Dick) Nelson, SPE, passed away 12 September 2024 in Ketchum, Idaho, at the age of 95. After receiving a PhD in chemistry from the University of Washington in 1954, he moved to California and started at Shell’s Martinez refinery. He also worked at Shell Development Company’s Emeryville Central Research Laboratory before moving to the company’s head office in M…

SPE technical papers synopsized in each monthly issue of JPT are available for download for SPE members for 2 months. These December and January papers are available now.

The objective of this study is to develop an explainable data-driven method using five different methods to create a model using a multidimensional data set with more than 700 rows of data for predicting minimum miscibility pressure.

Updates about global exploration and production activities and developments.
