Two things stood out when I looked at this year’s abstracts. First, well over half of the abstracts were related to electrical submersible pumps (ESPs). This is a significant increase from the last couple of years. Second, there was a clutch of artificial-lift-method-selection papers.

Conventional inflow-performance-relationship (IPR) models are used in coupled wellbore/reservoir transient simulations, even if bottomhole-pressure conditions are assumed to be constant on the derivation of such IPR models.

Because of their heterogeneity, carbonate reservoirs are more difficult to model than clastic reservoirs. The main difficulty comes from the number of different pore types, compared with the typical interparticle pore type in clastics.

This paper addresses the challenges in modeling highly unstable waterflooding, using both a conventional Darcy-type simulator and an adaptive dynamic prenetwork model, by comparing the simulated results with experimental data including saturation maps.

This study presents a methodology to define the most-adequate artificial-lift technique on the basis of technical limitations, a suitability coefficient (based on an attributes table), and economic analysis toward horizontal well configuration.

Baker Hughes and General Electric (GE) announced the executive team that will lead Baker Hughes, a GE Company, upon closing of their proposed transaction to combine GE’s Oil and Gas business with Baker Hughes. The executive team will consist of Lorenzo Simonelli, president and CEO; Maria Claudia Borras, SPE, president and CEO, oilfield services; Belgacem Chariag, chie…

A 3D conceptual model developed by ConocoPhillips helps to outline the company’s water usage for hydraulic fracturing operations in the Eagle Ford.

Mediocre leadership crushes employee gold and can be the unwitting source of unforeseen organizational outcomes.

The Prelude FLNG begins the 3,600-mile journey from South Korea to northwest Australia; expected to remain at final destination for 20–25 years.

Manual tank gauging is a common oilfield activity that has resulted in multiple worker deaths in recent years. By using work practice control, operators can reduce the risks it poses significantly.
