Many good well-construction-technology papers came out last year, as well as a couple on older technologies that either had not been published earlier or had been released and were underappreciated.

This paper presents the results of a performance-improvement effort in extended-reach drilling (ERD) in three campaigns in the Huizhou HZ 25-4 oil field in the South China Sea.

Georgeann Bilich joined the SPE staff in 1974 as the preprint coordinator. She retired on 27 March 2014 as SPE vice president–-communications, directing all SPE print and electronic publications, as well as external and internal communications, public relations, and energy education. During this 40-year time–span, Bilich at one time or another worked within or managed…

The SPE Board of Directors has approved the publication of its first technical report, titled “The Human Factor: Process Safety and Culture,” intended to provide guidance on the identification and mitigation of risks associated with human factors in upstream E&P operations.

Linhua4-1 was China’s first tieback subsea development project. To develop this marginal oil field, a number of technical challenges were overcome through a series of new technologies, and their successful development and implementation.

As you may remember, SPE adopted a new Strategic Plan in March 2013. Since then, the Board committees and several Board-level work groups have been examining high-priority initiatives.

As offshore development moves into deeper waters, harsh environments, and longer distances, the economic and practical advantages of moving as many components to the seafloor as possible has become a driving factor in technology development.

With inconsistent inlet water quality being the rule rather than the exception, sizing and operational considerations of the treatment system components must vary accordingly to make the most economic sense.

The growing attention on sustainable development has prompted many oil and gas companies to take a hard look at their operations and to build a framework for making them more socially responsible.

Project management professionals need to revise the traditional methods of evaluating the efficiency and progress of major projects, if they want to improve their performance record.
