SPE’s 2014 Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition (ATCE) will be held at the Amsterdam RAI Exhibition and Convention Centre in Amsterdam, Netherlands, during 27–29 October. Since the first ATCE in 1924, this is the second time its venue will be in Europe.

This is my final column and I will use it to update you on the state of the society in the context of my goals for the year and the status of the strategic initiatives adopted last year by the SPE Board of Directors.

This paper describes field experiences and perspectives on a Smart Fields implementation for the Bonga deepwater field and uses the results of a post-implementation study to evaluate the business effects and lessons learned after 5 years.

The world’s first offshore gas-hydrate production was carried out successfully in deepwater Japan at Nankai trough in 2013.

University Geological parameters within reservoir models define the geometry of the reservoir and the distribution of reservoir properties such as porosity and permeability.

Understanding well and reservoir performance is the ultimate goal of data gathering.

The growth in unconventionals production and the spotlight on hydraulic fracturing have heightened public concern about oil and gas industry operations and raised the stakes for those working in the industry.

In some operating areas, the change in ambient temperature from day to night can exceed 50°F. This cyclic temperature change can cause false pressure responses in low-quality pressure gauges and significant pressure responses in the wellbore.

Our industry is involved in the development of several automated tools and processes to improve the quality of drilling operations.

The paper demonstrates the successful application of advanced automated managed-pressure-drilling (MPD) technologies on the Dover well close to Fort McMurray, Alberta, Canada.
