This paper describes a collaborative project to analyze affected wells, identify commonalities, and optimize bit design and drilling parameters to mitigate the effects of borehole spiraling.

In this paper, bottomhole-assembly lateral behavior is analyzed using different types of computations, including static, dynamic, frequency-based, and time-based.

This month’s column offers an inside look at SPE’s governance, highlighting the Board of Directors and the selection process for its members. SPE President Olivier Houzé revisits lessons from the 2022 SPE-AAPG merger discussions and wraps up with actionable ideas to boost transparency and member engagement.

This work investigates a cost-effective and sustainable alternative to acidification for sheen control.

At SPE’s Permian Basin Energy Conference, operators shared behind-the-scenes details on innovations such as drilling horseshoe wells and trimulfrac completions along with in-basin challenges such as handling produced water.

Low flow rates presented a challenge in handling solids from a jetting operation before reinjection. A new cyclone was designed, tested, and installed in just 4 months to manage the suboptimal conditions.

The industry no longer considers the water as only a logistical problem. Now, it is a front-and-center component of any life-cycle planning.
