What does USD 60/bbl crude mean to the oil industry? We all know that oil prices are volatile and that we have seen oil in the USD 60/bbl price range before, but not since 2008.

Well control training programs for deepwater drillers and key rig personnel are undergoing a major overhaul that has been years in the making.

Stuart Clayton is the vice president of hydrocarbon recovery technologies at Shell’s innovation, research, and development organization based in the Netherlands, a position he has held since 2011.

More precise measurement can create a dilemma. One example is the precise fluid flow measurements used to control managed pressure drilling (MPD) systems.

The prospect of natural gas in a riser commonly summons up a vision of a deadly, fast-rising bubble exploding on to the floor of a drilling rig. But comments by consultants on an OTC panel argued that it is a poor description of how gas behaves in a deepwater riser.

This paper describes the development of “digital-rocks” technology, in which high-resolution 3D image data are used in conjunction with advanced modeling and simulation methods to measure petrophysical rock properties.

This paper discusses ultradeep directional-resistivity (DDR) logging-while-drilling (LWD) measurements for high-angle and horizontal wells that have been applied recently with success on the Norwegian continental shelf (NCS).

Comprehensive formation evaluation is one of the technical focus areas that is fundamental across almost all upstream businesses.

The 2015 SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition (ATCE) will be held at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston on 28–30 September.

The mixed-salinity environment poses a significant challenge in petrophysics.
