This paper presents a reduced physics-based model that accelerates the ability to screen infill-location optimization, using the fast marching method to maximize production for a reservoir with multiple realizations.

Within the oil and gas industry, the arena of offshore facilities is subject to the same emphases and initiatives as its terrestrial counterpart. This year’s selections reflect an emphasis on emissions reduction and facilities repurposing for carbon capture, use, and storage projects as well as advances in automation and unattended operations.

Oil prices are high, but spending has not caught up—yet. Meanwhile, exploration strategies are changing around the world toward a lower-risk model, and the frenzied pace of US M&A has very much cooled off.

This energy roundup highlights major global developments, including Western Australia’s approval of Woodside’s Browse gas project, TotalEnergies’ FID for Cyprus’ first gas development, and new oil and gas discoveries offshore Colombia, Namibia, and Angola. Read the latest updates on LNG projects, exploration successes, seismic surveys, and strategic upstream investmen…

This guest editorial addresses the many capacities in which oil and gas technical professionals can play a role advancing the energy technologies of tomorrow.

This case study outlines a full-scale testing program focused on the behavior of thermal casing connections subjected to severe bending and low-cycle fatigue loading.

With millions of wells having been drilled in the US since the beginning of the oil age, the land is pocked with old, unused wellbores. For most, repurposing is a pipe dream. Plugging is the best option.

2027 SPE President C. Susan Howes discusses her vision for SPE, highlighting the Society’s role in professional growth and the development of future energy leaders. In this JPT interview, she explains why investing in people is key to the future of the energy industry.

Injection of CO₂ into depleted gas reservoirs, and even more so for saline aquifers, initiates a series of interconnected physical and geochemical phenomena. The geochemical process within silicate and carbonate reservoirs offers the potential to enhance storage by creating secure CO₂ reactions with rock/brine/additives.

Disposal wells remain the lowest-cost solution for produced water, but concerns over seismicity and long-term sustainability are accelerating interest in alternatives.
