The SPE Separations Technology Technical Section (STTS) hosted a special session titled “Unlocking Hidden Production Potential in Existing and Mature Fields” during the recent ATCE.

While decommissioning is not new, the need is accelerating, along with cost and regulatory requirements. A panel at ATCE discussed the challenges in executing decommissioning projects.

Developing performance indicators that will provide meaningful comparisons across the wide variation in oil and gas platforms is important, since good indicators can drive optimal operations. But is is also complex.

Eleven reviewers joined the elite ranks of A Peer Apart by reviewing more than 100 papers for SPE, and 3 technical editors are recognized for their efforts during 2014.

Low-salinity waterflooding has recently attracted considerable interest from governments, researchers, and oil companies, who are evaluating the method’s potential to increase oil recovery.

To estimate reserves, optimize well recovery, and place future development wells more accurately, operators require increasingly detailed understanding of complex oil and gas reservoirs.

In response to the 2010 Deepwater Horizon incident that claimed the lives of 11 men and led to the worst oil spill in United States history, the offshore industry devised new technologies and methods that would allow for a quicker response in the US Gulf of Mexico.

Saudi Aramco’s plan to create a global network of research centers is becoming a reality. It recently celebrated the opening of its Houston center that the company’s President and Chief Executive Officer Khalid Al-Falih described as “an upstream research center like no other.”

A well drilled and completed in a marginal field offshore India produced only gas until the oil-bearing sands were perforated and the well was put on commingled-oil-and-gas production.

The purpose of this paper is to examine coiled-tubing (CT) -stimulation and -logging technologies used in the timely project execution of one of Saudi Arabia’s largest field developments to enhance matrix-stimulation success in a cost-effective manner.
