To achieve optimal production from unconventional reservoirs, it is useful to determine the permeability, pore pressure, and state of stress of rock strata.

Energized fluids—with the success of hydraulic fracturing in the US shale-gas plays, why are more operating companies not using energized fluids to minimize the use of water, decrease the amount of proppant required, and (theoretically) enhance long-term productivity?

This paper offers an analytical model for estimating the transient temperature at a given depth and timestep, for computing the BHP.

Despite shallow-water, conventional areas being some of Mexico’s most promising plays for international operators in the short term, the economic factors surrounding them are “not robust,” even at higher oil prices.

It is inspiring to look back to 1909 when Howard Hughes Sr. and Walter Sharp introduced the roller-cone bit.

A Cold War technology invented to stealthily guide the United States Navy’s nuclear submarine fleet is now serving a much more peaceful purpose: aiding in the search for oil and gas deposits.

Approximately one-half of all offshore conventional oil and gas resources are known or thought to be undrillable with conventional, open-to-atmosphere circulating fluids systems for safety, economic, and/or technical reasons.

SPE is unique by design. It is global, it is not-for-profit, it exists for the benefit of its large and diverse membership of 143,000 and the technical content of SPE’s programs is developed by its members.

One question raised about the sharp slide in global crude oil prices is whether this is just another cycle in a volatile business that has certainly seen its share of ups and downs, or a more significant shift in the relationship between producers, namely OPEC, and consuming countries.

Add a new possible use for downhole casing: It can serve as broadcast antennae.
