The authors describe the process of building multiple scenario-based models to optimize development planning in preparation for the upcoming production phase of the Ichthys field offshore Australia.

As the COVID-19 pandemic subsides in most parts of the world, it is time for our ship to leave port. As we pull up our anchor, we must accept that there are risks out there, but we must get back to the task of exploration and production to improve lives, mitigate poverty, and provide the energy to enable a modern global society.

A wellbore repair tool was successfully deployed to rectify collapsed tubing in a remote well off the coast of Papua New Guinea.

The authors demonstrate how artificial intelligence and machine learning can help build a purely data-driven reservoir simulation model that successfully history matches dynamic variables for wells in a complex offshore field and that can be used for production forecasting.

For the entities formerly—and, sometimes, still—known as oilfield service companies, the energy transition presents new business challenges and opportunities. How are they managing?

Operator may hand back lease concessions early.

SPE papers and events that covered decarbonization during the past year show that a wide variety of solutions already exist that avoid, reduce, replace, offset, or sequester greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. It is clear, therefore, that decarbonization technologies will now be as important as 4D seismic, horizontal wells, and hydraulic fracturing.

How we think about the future of the pipe industry must evolve. How must tubular design and manufacturing change as we transition to clean energy? Geothermal energy is an area that needs attention and, further, needs very specific attention on tubulars.

The implementation of fishbone stimulation helped to more than double estimated well productivity and tripled the production rate in a tight carbonate reservoir well compared with conventional stimulation during initial testing.

The recent cyberattack on Colonial Pipeline’s IT system has thrust the issue of oil and gas industry cybersecurity into the spotlight, which, according to specialists in the field, is where it should always be.
