Darcy Spady has been nominated for 2018 SPE President, and seven other members were nominated to fill vacancies on the 2017 SPE Board of Directors.

With the outlook for the oil and gas industry very much unsettled, the Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) will offer global energy professionals a world-leading forum for obtaining the in-depth knowledge of scientific and technological advances and innovations to meet today's challenges.

The operator of an offshore jackup rig in the North Sea required safe and efficient deployment of the completion string without killing the well during tripping.
