This paper presents experimental and field-case studies with a sandstone-acidizing treatment designed to retard the hydrofluoric acid reaction rate and enable single-stage treatment.

This paper studied three residual-free fluid systems for acid treatments and fracturing in order to develop no-damage or reduced-damage and highly effective stimulation techniques for long-interval wells.

When panels in an instrument equipment shelter kept tripping and the occasional smell of H2S led to an investigation of the rationale. Although a rare occurrence, this paper presents a strategy for prevention through careful site selection.

May 16 marked the 145th anniversary of the founding of the American Institute of Mining Engineers (AIME), SPE’s parent organization.

The deployment of appropriate CO2-separation technologies for natural gas processing is viewed as an abatement measure toward global CO2-emissions reduction. Selection of the optimum technology requires special attentiion.

With the oil and gas industry facing an uncertain financial future, organizations are looking for any way to save costs. One way to achieving cost savings is through efficient planning in the construction and conversion of floating production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) units.

Complexity is the central challenge of executing deepwater major capital projects, and the industry must find ways to reduce it for future projects to be viable, Chevron’s General Manager of Facilities Engineering Mick Kraly told a luncheon audience Tuesday at the Offshore Technology Conference in Houston. “Major Capital Projects Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow: Is The…

The discovery of the Zohr natural gas field, the largest in the Mediterranean region, has begun to rejuvenate prospects for the Egyptian economy. Located offshore Egypt, the Zohr field holds more than 30 Tcf of gas in place. Onshore site preparation began in March, and first gas to market is expected in December 2017.

Moving oil/water separation equipment from platforms to the seabed looks inevitable, but based on the current rate of adoption it could take forever.
