As the discovery rate of new hydrocarbon resources decreases, the need for more-efficient enhanced-oil-recovery processes increases. Unlike in the past, however, when the efficiency was defined in terms of maximizing the recovery factor (RF), the new interpretation of efficiency is based on optimizing the balance between RF and the reduction of carbon footprint.

Over the past 30 years Caspian nations such as Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan have built thriving economies on oil and gas wealth led by global energy companies and a handful of megaprojects. As times change, that model may need to be reassessed.

Steve Sawaryn, who made world-leading contributions to directional drilling and surveying fields, died 29 August. He was 66.

This paper reveals the potential of an in-situ generated gel system designed with a bionanoparticle that has tunable strength and gelation reversibility in porous media for underground applications.

The SPE Distinguished Membership Award recognizes members who have attained eminence in the petroleum industry or academia, or who have made significant contributions to SPE.

Field will deliver gas to Trinidad market from a resource discovered in 2017.

Recent developments in drilling-systems automation provide a multitude of opportunities to have real-time monitoring of drilling-fluid properties and early diagnosis of drilling-fluid-related complications that might arise while drilling. Coupled with closed-loop control of surface and downhole drilling-fluid properties, automated monitoring of fluid properties would …

Where does employment in the oil and gas industry stand today? It remains far from the peak seen in 2014, but it is incrementally recovering. Will it grow, and how?

An integrated multidisciplinary work flow can improve the assessment of pipeline slugging fatigue for offshore field developments.
