Our Society has a wealth of technical content, and it is rapidly growing.

SPE Offshore Europe 2019 saw a noticeably upbeat set of 38,000 industry participants from all over the world during the first week of September.

Held in Canada for the first time, the 2019 SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition brought more than 6,000 petroleum professionals to Calgary, and offered a comprehensive review of technical topics related to industry productivity, digital transformation, safety, and sustainability.

Total compensation for SPE members this year has risen to its highest level since 2016, as the oil and gas industry continues to recover from the steep oil price downturn that began mid-decade.

The advent of the rotary-steerable system (RSS) introduced an efficient way to drill both current and future wells. However, current tools still fail to replace positive displacement motors (PDMs).

The complete paper documents the development, laboratory- and field testing, and lessons learned from a project to evaluate coated centralizers.

Optimizing horizontal well placement is not limited to identifying the most-favorable reservoir, but also involves identifying the ideal target window within that reservoir.

Drilling has become a complex operation that requires a multitude of tasks to be managed at the same time. Not surprisingly, then, drilling automation will gain momentum in the near future to deliver consistent execution and performance safely and with good wellbore quality.
