The Reelwell Drilling Method (RDM) is a new technology developed to solve certain drilling problems and improve the operation margin for various applications.

This paper describes the planning and execution of use of mud-cap fluid in the drilling of an ultranarrow-margin (0.50-lbm/gal window at the planning stage) high-pressure/high-temperature (HP/HT) well from a jackup rig.

The Macondo explosion and oil spill occurred 5 years ago this month, freezing activity in the US Gulf of Mexico and putting the industry in a negative spotlight for weeks.

Questions posed by 2015 SPE President Helge Hove Haldorsen.

Although principal-component analysis (PCA) has been applied widely to reduce the number of parameters characterizing a reservoir, its disadvantages are well-recognized.

As the role of reservoir-flow simulation increasingly affects existing operations and field-development decisions, it follows that rigor, fitness, and consistency should be imposed on the calibration of reservoir-flow models to dynamic data through history matching.

Nowadays, there is a wealth of history-matching methods. As a result, we observe that it is becoming a common industrial practice to generate multiple history-matched models, even for fairly complex problems with thousands of uncertainty variables and a large amount of data.

Decline-curve analysis (DCA) is arguably the most commonly used method for forecasting reserves in unconventional reservoirs. This paper discusses its basic theory and application, together with the potential pitfalls of using simple empirical production-forecasting methods in complex reservoirs.

The development of conventional reservoirs has typically involved minimal logging-while-drilling (LWD) technology, usually consisting of survey, gamma ray, and possibly resistivity tools.
