Price competition among makers of perforating guns has gotten brutal, even by the rough standards of unconventional oil business where depressed oil prices have led to deep budget cuts.

Technology developers are working on a new ultrasonic flowmeter for drilling ­fluids aimed at obtaining better measurements than current systems with far fewer disruptions to rig systems.

Featuring speakers from various disciplines and professions, the program emphasizes current trends, challenges, and technology applications in the industry. The following speakers and subject areas will be presented in this year's program.

Coupled, full-field, integrated, holistic, or asset: Call it what you will, this class of modeling is becoming increasingly commonplace.

The unconventional boom that has swept across North America over the past decade is a testament to how game-changing technology combined with expanded knowledge and understanding has transformed the paradigm of hydrocarbon production.

The SPE Offshore Europe Conference and Exhibition, the largest upstream oil and gas conference outside of North America, will take place in Aberdeen on 8–11 September.

Simulation of coupled flow and geomechanics is of rising importance as unconventional subsurface exploration pushes the operational envelope of geological media.

There has been increasing interest in integrated simulation of reservoirs, wells, and surface facilities, which is particularly important for companies with major assets in deep offshore fields.

Field X in the North Sea was discovered in the 1980s, and large subsurface uncertainties exist regarding reservoir extent, fluid contacts, and reservoir properties.

Constructing and refining complex reservoir models are challenging and time-consuming tasks that entail a high degree of uncertainty.
