Despite cement’s remarkable properties, the search continues for enhancements in the areas of cost and isolation performance. Efficiencies and enhancements have been explored even to the point of replacing cement with other materials.

The conductor anchor node (CAN) technology was introduced as part of the architecture for Centrica’s Ivory deepwater exploration well in the Norwegian Sea to optimize efficient operations for the well’s riserless section.

Companies need effective talent acquisition and retention programs to succeed in the pending economic recovery.

In recent years, sustainability has emerged as perhaps the most critical imperative of this century.

The most-competitive emerging systems blend artificial intelligence to bring better efficiency to the human work that results in good business decisions. As a result, we waste less time and fewer resources finding and manipulating data and focus more on complex engineering judgment.

The need to offset declining production from mature basins, as well as the ability of international oil companies to access larger reserves with the use of new exploration-and-production technology, will continue to drive deepwater expenditure.

The featured papers all show improved solutions for constructing multilateral and long-reach wells. They show the dynamics of a continuous striving for improvements. These well types are very important tools in the search to maximize recovery from petroleum fields.

Canada will become the world’s fifth-largest producer of crude oil in 2017. The solvent-assisted-SAGD poses the largest advancement in production techniques in the oil sands, and if scaled up, could further reduce extraction costs.

Chinese scientists have proposed the world's first underwater magnetic levitation train, theoretically capable of 2000 km/hr, in Zhoushan, Zhejiang province. The 10-km long vacuum tunnel would float in water, which would bear 90% of its weight. China Railway Tunnel Survey and Design Institute, a subsidiary of China Railway Group, is reported to have completed prelimin…

An advisor at Schlumberger discusses the company’s work in examining the effect of perforations on hydraulic fracture initiation.
