This work presents a systematic geosteering work flow that automatically integrates a priori information and real-time measurements to update geomodels with uncertainties and uses the latest model predictions in a decision-support system (DSS).

From the highest courts of the US judicial branch to the C-suite, contests involving patents have recently come to the fore in the innovation hungry US oilfield services industry, even as filings and litigation have declined in recent years.

Having blockchain on an oil rig means everyone on the job shares a view of a project from start to finish. This could facilitate innovations that cut costs, but organizational change is required.

Recipients of the 2018 SPE International Awards will be recognized at the Annual Reception and Banquet to be held during the 2018 SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition in Dallas this month.

The author writes that the generally accepted Knudsen diffusion in shales is based on a mistranslation of the flow physics and may give theoretically unsound predictions of the increased permeability of shales to gas flow.

The objective of this paper is to illustrate a methodology for identifying the value of information (VOI) in reservoir management—in particular, for deriving the conditional probabilities of success when new and imperfect data are acquired.

Initial development of inflow tracers was designed to provide qualitative information about the location of water breakthrough in production wells. The proof of concept and application for water detection initiated the development of oil tracers for oil-inflow monitoring.

The main goal of the SPE Business Management and Leadership Committee (BML) is to promote learning opportunities for nontechnical skills. Technical skills often get you in the door, but strong nontechnical skills can propel you to career success.

The recently issued SPE technical report Getting to Zero and Beyond: The Path Forward highlights the “how to” for the industry to achieve zero incidents, zero harm, and zero impact.

Current logistics and pipeline-infrastructure limitations make transportation and production of waxy crude oil challenging, necessitating a step change in the chemistry required to mitigate crude-oil-composition issues.
