SPE President Terry Palisch is joined by Jennifer Miskimins, department head of petroleum engineering at the Colorado School of Mines, to discuss the academic aspect of petroleum engineering and its future.

Intelligent technology plays a role in applications ranging from design to completions to data management and most points in between. However, this feature topic is devoted to SPE papers that discuss system-oriented innovations to increase production, reduce costs, and decrease risk.

SPE technical papers synopsized in each monthly issue of JPT are available for download for SPE members for 2 months. These April and May papers are available now.

This paper describes the engineering design and operational execution practices that supported setting of a new extended-reach world record in a mature carbonate field offshore Abu Dhabi.

This past year’s Cementing and Zonal Isolation papers indicated that our industry continues to maintain high levels of innovation and optimization. The evident collaboration between operators and service providers continues to propel technical developments at rates otherwise not possible.

This paper presents an evaluation of geopolymer cementing for use in oil and gas wells, specifically in the primary cementing of liner strings in the Permian Basin.

The prestigious award celebrates OTC exhibitors who are revolutionizing the industry with their groundbreaking technologies. This year, 15 exceptional technologies—five of which hail from small businesses—were chosen for their advancements. Join us in recognizing these trailblazers who are shaping the future of offshore energy.

The health, safety, and environment (HSE) discipline is one of the broadest in SPE, from the perspectives of both its scope and its cross-discipline impact. As JPT celebrates 75 years, former HSE Technical Director Roland Moreau examines some of the defining moments in the history of HSE in the industry, the growth of the discipline, and the challenges it still faces.

At COP28, more than 50 oil and gas companies took a historic step toward decarbonization by launching the Oil & Gas Decarbonization Charter. This article explores the importance of this effort, the opportunities available to the industry to reduce its Scope 1 and 2 emissions, and the key technologies needed to achieve the net-zero goal.

Losing drill-hungry independent and private companies in the region to robust M&A will mean an activity slowdown that is expected to impact volumes coming from the nation’s largest oil field.
