The integration of the latest state-of-the-art technology in modeling and measurement of drilling dynamics and borehole quality has enhanced the understanding of bit, bottomhole assembly, and drillstring design. This can be seen in recent work on analysis of cutter-formation interaction, borehole-quality improvement, and modeling improvements.

This paper describes a collaborative project to analyze affected wells, identify commonalities, and optimize bit design and drilling parameters to mitigate the effects of borehole spiraling.

In this paper, bottomhole-assembly lateral behavior is analyzed using different types of computations, including static, dynamic, frequency-based, and time-based.

This month’s column offers an inside look at SPE’s governance, highlighting the Board of Directors and the selection process for its members. SPE President Olivier Houzé revisits lessons from the 2022 SPE-AAPG merger discussions and wraps up with actionable ideas to boost transparency and member engagement.

This section lists with regret SPE members who recently passed away.

As we turn the page on our 75th anniversary, JPT’s recent visit to the UAE offers a front-row seat of what some of the industry’s biggest players see coming.

At SPE’s Permian Basin Energy Conference, operators shared behind-the-scenes details on innovations such as drilling horseshoe wells and trimulfrac completions along with in-basin challenges such as handling produced water.

Low flow rates presented a challenge in handling solids from a jetting operation before reinjection. A new cyclone was designed, tested, and installed in just 4 months to manage the suboptimal conditions.

When it comes to staying on top of the latest upstream innovations, the easiest way to do it is already in front of you.

JPT's Technology Focus showcases synopses of 144 SPE conference papers selected by the JPT Editorial Review Board across key specialty areas—your gateway to this year's top innovations. All topics are listed with their respective reviewers.
