Fracture monitoring to optimize fluid volumes and designs remains a critical area of development. Research is ongoing with the focus on combining different monitoring technologies including tracers, fiber optics, downhole cameras, and microseismic monitoring.

The EOR scene has evolved as well. Low-salinity waterflooding, originally thought to apply only in certain sandstone reservoirs, appears to be able to unlock additional reserves also for some carbonate formations, although the fundamental mechanisms are different.

Engineers desperately need an alternative to acid placement through pipe, coiled tubing, or bullheading. For example, propellants have been around for years; however, their performance has not quite met the hype. Nevertheless, several case histories have been authored to suggest their efficacy; historically, some treatments have even been wildly successful.

Updates about global exploration and production activities and developments.

The SPE Drilling and Wells Interoperability Standards group proposes a dual-path strategy to overcome the technical and commercial barriers facing the advancement of drilling automation.

SPE President Terry Palisch is joined by Susan Howes, president of Subsurface Consultants and Associates, to discuss the importance of soft skills for petroleum engineering.

The exploration and extraction of hydrocarbons from tight or shale formations have revolutionized the global energy landscape, unlocking vast oil and gas reserves previously considered inaccessible. This article intends to explore the complexities of hydrocarbon extraction from tight and shale reservoirs.

Rising natural gas production plus not enough takeaway capacity equals one big headache for west Texas producers

The massive vessel moved from Aker Solutions quayside to begin sea trials ahead of deployment in the Barents Sea prior to year-end.
