Operators in the Permian Basin are looking for new ways to handle the rising volumes of produced water coming out of the region without using saltwater disposal wells. One solution, treatment for discharge, could provide an efficient alternative.

Funding for startups in the upstream industry does not always guarantee that oil and gas companies will want to test the new technology. A new venture and accelerator model hopes to change this through guaranteed pilots.

Noble’s first row of wells in its massive Mustang project is helping increase the operator’s DJ Basin output, and similar results are soon expected in the Delaware Basin.

Another reminder that it costs more to coax the same amount of oil from new wells as for older wells nearby, with a closer look at the big plays and how the wells are completed.

Neural networks can be as unpredictable as they are powerful. Now mathematicians are beginning to reveal how a neural network’s form will influence its function.

J.G. (George) Savins, SPE, an SPE Legion of Honor member and technology inventor in the field of rheology, died 11 January. Awarded a BS in chemistry in 1949, Savins started his career as a chemist at the FRL Research and Development Group. His career then gradually evolved to cover diverse research interests and saw significant technical achievements in fluid flow an…

The North Dakota Petroleum Council is introducing One Basin—One Way, a program that hopes to reduce orientation redundancies and streamline training.

Jobs with repetitive activities may decrease, while new types of onshore jobs are being created.

The need to optimize tank turnaround schedules is as great as it has ever been within the midstream sector, but traditional human-based tank inspections often cut into uptime while introducing safety risks. New robotic applications aim to alleviate these issues.

A Florida appeals court has approved exploratory oil drilling in the Everglades, prompting worries about Miami’s water supply and risks to the wetland ecosystem.
