As the drilling industry improves its efforts to capture drilling operation activities in real time, it has generated a significant amount of data that drilling engineers cannot process on their own.

Researchers at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, Scotland, are building replica core samples using 3D printers and installing sensors inside them as they go. Their goal is to directly monitor pore-scale flow behavior from the inside of these so-called “smart rocks.”

The tedium of identifying small faults in often murky seismic images pushed Dustin Dewett, an associate geophysicist for BHP Billiton, to develop a better way to use the tools at hand.

This paper shows how automation reduces invisible lost time and allows drillers to focus on other activities while repetitive tasks are controlled by software.

To accelerate learning, an operator deployed a real-time, closed-loop downhole automation system (DHAS) in conjunction with wired drillpipe in the 8¾-in.-hole section.

This paper presents the LCDSS and elaborates on the use of it in the preparation and training phase and the operational phase, including forecasting.

In the Eagle Ford, an integrated approach to engineering and operations was key to optimize performance and improve understanding of the area.

Douglas Westwoods' world FLNG market forecast for the period 2016-2022. A stormy ride is expected for the LNG industry, as the fall in natural gas prices limits investment in capital-intensive liquefaction projects.

Kenneth George Nolte, SPE, died 6 July 2016. He was 74 years old. He was recognized as a legend of hydraulic fracturing and was most known for his contribution to the Nolte-Smith Plot, which revolutionized the interpretation of net-pressure behavior during and after hydraulic fracture treatments. Nolte’s work in his earlier years also made a significant contribution t…

This paper presents a state-of-the-art review of scale-inhibitor-analysis techniques and describes how these techniques can be used to provide cost-effective scale management.
