Over the past 200 years, since the days of the Industrial Revolution, we have experienced several waves of innovation, which have had a profound effect on our everyday lives.

The SPE Training and Member Programs departments took on the task of creating an intensive and industry-specific means to help spur the development of leadership abilities particularly of younger E&P professionals.

As the shale revolution changes the map of oil and natural gas development and shifts the balance of production between regions, public acceptance is an increasing challenge.

Although famous for its abundant oil fields, generations of production in the Middle East is putting sharper focus on ultimate recovery from these fields.

Before many of the new chemical and nanoparticle technologies for wellbore strengthening arrived to the marketplace, casing while drilling (CWD) was used for more than a decade to mechanically achieve the same end.

Drilling in the extremely deep waters of the US Gulf of Mexico has revealed huge oil reservoirs, and gaps in the industry’s capabilities.

Low-salinity waterflooding has recently attracted considerable interest from governments, researchers, and oil companies, who are evaluating the method’s potential to increase oil recovery.

To estimate reserves, optimize well recovery, and place future development wells more accurately, operators require increasingly detailed understanding of complex oil and gas reservoirs.

In response to the 2010 Deepwater Horizon incident that claimed the lives of 11 men and led to the worst oil spill in United States history, the offshore industry devised new technologies and methods that would allow for a quicker response in the US Gulf of Mexico.

Saudi Aramco’s plan to create a global network of research centers is becoming a reality. It recently celebrated the opening of its Houston center that the company’s President and Chief Executive Officer Khalid Al-Falih described as “an upstream research center like no other.”
