Over the past 6 months, I’ve talked about several emerging geographic and technology frontiers in the oil and gas industry. One of the most exciting and prolific emerging technology frontiers is also geographic in a way—the seafloor of deepwater basins around the world.

Governments and companies in the Middle East look to carbon capture and storage for reducing environmental impact and boosting oil production.

A growing chorus of suppliers, researchers, and service companies is persuading US operators to re-examine their use of slickwater in shale plays and consider displacing it with carbon dioxide and nitrogen.

DuPont is ramping up the commercial-scale implementation of its microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) method after nearly a decade of development and testing of what it says is a low-risk way to improve production from mature fields.

After a year of field testing, a new type of biopolymer developed by Wintershall, Germany’s largest oil and gas producer, is showing promise as an effective enhanced oil recovery (EOR) tool in one of the country’s longest producing oil fields.

Pumping fracturing jobs is an equipment killer. The job requires running enormous quantities of water and sand through a pump, which is an abrasive mix that damages pumps in ways that cannot be fixed. Adding to the pressure is the trend toward clustering wells on pad sites that extend run time.

As oil fields throughout the world are reaching maturity and requiring the use of secondary and tertiary recovery techniques, oil companies are looking for new processes and technologies to extract more oil from these aging fields.

Weather conditions aging offshore facilities presented challenges during a monsoon in the South China Sea.

This work will present an object-oriented tracking system that allows CT operators to monitor defects as they evolve over time.

Are we really in an industry that is so mature that it is devoid of new thoughts and incapable of generating new concepts to meet the challenges that we face?
