BW Offshore acquired the tanker Blue Opal for USD 83.4 million from Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering. The tanker is a 320,000-deadweight-ton very large crude carrier.

Onshore gas developments are often characterized by drilling, fracturing, and production of wells before low-pressure gas-gathering systems are in place. As well production declines, liquid-loading issues begin to appear. Use of a twin-screw pump to boost deliquefication was investigated.

The lifespan of a huge, old oil field in Oklahoma is now linked to a fertilizer plant 68 miles away. Chaparral Energy is capturing 45 million ft3/D of carbon dioxide (CO2) that had previously been vented into the atmosphere in Coffeyville, Kansas, compressing it, and sending it via a pipeline.

Research into whether CO2 can be used to coax billions more barrels of oil from unconventional formations is beginning to show promise.

Tests showing increased recoveries in the Bakken formation using CO2 could have significant implications for the upstream oil and gas industry.

The Technical Aspects of Waterflooding workshop held 23 October in Long Beach, California, was the first SPE event to involve both live participants and members participating around the world through a real-time video feed.

Over the next decade, the number of electrically powered subsea systems in operation around the world will increase as companies adopt new technologies to produce oil and gas offshore more efficiently.

A preview of the 2014 IADC/SPE Drilling Conference and Exhibition in Fort Worth, Texas.

Oil and gas companies are adapting to new safety regulations governing operations in the US Gulf of Mexico.

Fiber optic pressure and temperature (P/T) sensing technology for multizone fracturing and production monitoring is enabled by a new feed-through (FT) technology that integrates the optical fiber within the multiple elastomer elements of a compact, swellable openhole packer system.
