The primary purpose of this study is to develop a method that overcomes the restrictions of rock-mechanics tests with respect to unconventional shale formations.

SPE’s technical directors are focused on problems that require working outside the bounds of their discipline.

An ongoing research project started nearly 3 years ago by the US Department of Energy’s National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) is shedding new light on what really happens to foamed cement as it is pumped deep down offshore wells during completions.

The industry’s continued migration into deeper, hotter, and more unconventional oil and gas reservoirs carries the potential for significant financial rewards and major economic risks.

The decline in oil prices will not affect the long-term strategy of national oil companies in the Middle East, ministers and senior executives said at the opening of the 30th edition of Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (ADIPEC) held in November.

To meet one of SPE’s strategic priorities, capability development, the Society has partnered with International Human Resource Development Corporation (IHRDC) to offer the SPE Competency Management Tool (CMT) free to its members.

This paper focuses on the effects of injected-gas composition and fracture properties on oil recovery, concluding that cyclic gas injection in hydraulically fractured shale oil reservoirs is feasible for improving oil production substantially over primary production.

Initially, polymer flooding had not been considered as a viable enhanced-oil-recover (EOR) technology for Pelican Lake in northern Alberta, Canada, because of the high viscosity of the oil until it was considered in combination with horizontal wells.

Each year, the SPE/IADC Drilling Conference and Exhibition provides a place for producers, contractors, and service company professionals to meet, discuss, evaluate, and share ideas to advance drilling operations around the world.

Incorporating enhanced-recovery focus into field-management practices as early as possible is finally becoming the norm.
