The SPE Separations Technology Technical Section (STTS) continues its study of gas scrubbing technology with a special session at the 2015 SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition on 28–30 September in Houston.

To help the industry understand offshore-facility weight predictability, IPA recently conducted a comprehensive study that sheds new light on facility weight performance and identifies the root causes of weight growth, providing guidelines for improving predictability.

Statoil has successfully used dual-­gradient drilling for the first time ever in the US Gulf of Mexico (GOM) on an upper-hole section.

The University of Texas at Austin (UT) will launch an initiative in April to promote cross-discipline collaboration and student research on automated technology in the oil field.

OPEC’s decision last year not to cut production in order to defend market share and drive some high-cost producers out of the market appears to be working. But it is setting up a new market paradigm, argues a new study, which could have long-term implications for the oil industry.

What is more integral to the exploration and production (E&P) business than making decisions? In many ways it is the essence of business.

Gas lift is an artificial lift technique used in wells in which the natural reservoir pressure is insufficient to deliver fluids to the surface in the initial production stage or has depleted to the point of being incapable of bringing fluids to the surface.

Tertiary oil recovery technologies can extend the economic life of maturing waterflooded reservoirs. This article describes the results from a biologically based EOR technology that has improved waterflood efficiency by increasing oil production and decreasing the decline rates.

The lower tertiary formation found in the pre-salt layers of the Gulf of Mexico has become a proving ground for extending what is possible when completing multistage fracturing in ultradeepwater wells.

Early engineers of the 19th century were rock stars of their times, much like famous dot-com entrepreneurs of our times.
