If there is a key takeaway as 2025 comes to a close, it is the new level of diligence and depth in water-management planning, along with a growing recognition of the need to invest in more complex methods and sophisticated technologies.

This paper demonstrates that high-purity salts of calcium, magnesium, strontium, sodium, and lithium can be recovered from produced-water brine using a chemical-reaction pathway followed by vacuum-driven crystallization and a lithium-extraction process.

The authors of this paper aim to design, optimize, and evaluate a scalable and energy-efficient plasma-driven advanced-oxidative-process system for produced-water remediation, emphasizing regulatory compliance for safe discharge or reuse.

Our drilling process is punctuated with discontinuous events that can disrupt the operational flow of the perfect well. Three papers have been selected to provide insights into some of these nonstationary processes that cause bit runs to fall short of perfection.

Updates about global exploration and production activities and developments.

Ever wonder how someone ends up on the SPE Board of Directors—or whether the path is reserved for a select few? In this article, I pull back the curtain on how the Board actually works, what it takes to get involved, and the key outcomes from our most recent meeting at ATCE in Houston. A little transparency can go a long way for understanding and insight.

Data and impartial viewpoints can help de-risk exploration portfolios and keep resource estimates in check.
