The traditional subsea tieback model is evolving, supported by advances in flow assurance that allow tiebacks over much longer distances and by the introduction of new technologies that increase overall cost effectiveness.

Both operational experience and studies of future offshore gas-field developments are showing that subsea gas-compression systems not only reduce investment costs but also increase recovery significantly.

Often it is too difficult to create the fault conditions necessary for training a predictive maintenance algorithm on the actual machine. A digital twin generates simulated failure data, which can then be used to design a fault-detection algorithm.

An intelligent drilling optimization application performs as an adaptive autodriller. In the Marcellus Shale, ROP improved 61% and 39% and drilling performance, measured as hours on bottom, improved 25%.

Hisham Nasr-El-Din, an SPE Distinguished Member, professor, and scholar in stimulation and oilfield chemistry, died 3 July.

SPE Journal

SPE’s mission as a journal publisher is to provide readers with content they can trust on cutting-edge solutions and technical advances in the oil and gas field. SPE also understands the value to researchers to publish in a well-respected journal and to get their research out there quickly. We are pleased to say that in 2020 SPE continues making great strides in every…

Shell and Chevron lead the pack in a slew of Q2 losses with $18.1 billion and $8.3 billion, respectively. ExxonMobil, ConocoPhillips, Royal Dutch Shell, Petrobras, and Repsol also posted losses. The tally of these global majors’ losses in a single quarter tops $30 billion.

Providing a kick start for nascent companies developing clean energy technologies, Halliburton launched its innovation lab, Halliburton Labs. Its first participant is a nanomaterials company developing fireproofing and insulation technology.

For the seventh straight year, the regulatory body has found offshore operations continue to improve based on an efficiency model developed in partnership with the SPE.
