The energy contained in oil and gas makes them immensely useful—and dangerous. A fire fueled by hydrocarbons can quickly threaten anything exposed to it. Building in passive fire protection when constructing facilities is wise practice.

H.J. “Hank” Gruy, SPE, a former SPE president whose company was a pioneer in transitioning engineering calculations from mechanical calculators to computers, died 19 December 2012. He was 97.

Increasing gas demand and the requirement for short-term to medium-term import solutions have led to rapid growth in the floating regasification sector in recent years.

Technology has allowed industry to develop in ever deeper water to successfully add to energy supplies, despite the high capital requirements.

Thoughts on skills and training from 2013 SPE President, Egbert Imomoh

Luke Eaton of ConocoPhillips, Darryl Herrington of LLOG Exploration, and John Thorogood, drilling global consultant provide their perspectives on deepwater technologies.

This paper presents the results of tests conducted to design a fast-breaking gelled fluid for a debris-removal operation in a long, large-diameter subsea pipeline in the Asia Pacific region. where traditional pigging was not an option.

There is no doubt that the 86,000-sq-mile Permian Basin, encompassing 52 counties in west Texas and eastern New Mexico, is experiencing a renaissance in drilling activity.

Global decommissioning projects are ramping up as many installations near the end of their life cycle. Many operators are now planning for major removal projects. Changes in technology and regulations have caused operators to make significant shifts in well abandonment operations.

Advances in drilling and reaming with casing or liners (DwC, DwL, RwC, and RwL) are yielding unprecedented capabilities in well design and construction.
