A pair of inventive companies are working on a way to allow microseismic tests to visualize the otherwise silent process of propping fractures.

Second only to the power and utility sector, the oil and gas industry is experiencing a higher frequency of cyber attacks than any other industry. The vast majority of penetrations are in the information technology (IT) networks that run a company’s daily business.

Ganesh C. Thakur, 2012 SPE President, and SPE member Leonard Kent Thomas are among the new members elected to the National Academy of Engineering (NAE).

Predictions of a 2016 recovery in the exploration and production (E&P) sector became increasingly rare after 2015 ended with a thud as oil prices sank below USD 40/bbl.

Developers of the latest generation of unconventional hydraulic fracturing models are hoping that current weak oil and gas prices will generate newfound interest in their software technology.

Without serious climate policy restrictions, the use of cheaper oil will likely grow and extend its life expectancy throughout the global energy system.

The sources and magnitude of shear and the effects on oil droplet size can have significant consequences for downstream separation equipment performance.

The value of peer reviewed papers is discussed along with two papers on sand/solids removal from separators and pipeline protection.

The Pugang gas field, one of the biggest inland gas discoveries of the last decade in China, has hydrogen sulfide (H2S) concentrations as high as 10%, making surface- and downhole-facilities design and execution challenging.

The authors have developed an active acoustic automatic leak-detection sonar designed to detect hydrocarbon leaks (mono- and multiphase oil and gas) at significant ranges, allowing coverage of wide areas from a single sensor.
