This paper presents an efficient mathematical optimization method for well placement that maximizes contact with the productive zones for the best locations in the reservoir.

This section lists with regret SPE members who recently passed away.

This paper presents a novel methodology for assessing the rapid mineral carbonation of carbon dioxide through geochemical interactions with carbon-, magnesium-, and iron-rich minerals abundant in geological formations.

This paper reviews the motivation and development of response-based forecasting from the perspective of the authors, reviewing examples and processes that have served as validation and led to modeling refinement.

This study contributes to enhancing the understanding of scale-inhibitor retention in rock formations.

This paper compares traditional welded techniques, such as above-water repair methods and underwater hyperbaric welding, with the novel options offered by subsea connectors purposely developed for corrosion-resistant-alloy-clad pipelines.

As the exploitation of hydrocarbons moves into increasingly challenging scenarios, the ability to enhance the strength of available tools so that they can create a whole greater than the parts is no longer an option but a necessity. This year’s Field Development selections reflect this need for optimization.

The need for sustainable innovation, efficient resource planning, and a greater understanding of subsurface science through applied chemistry is greater than ever. Three papers were selected based on their forward-looking approaches to these challenges.

As of mid-2025, more than 50 CCS facilities are capturing approximately 51 million tons of CO₂ annually, with over 600 additional projects in the pipeline. Yet the success of these efforts rests on a single truth: If we cannot monitor it, we cannot manage it.

In this paper, a hybrid hydraulic-fracture optimization and field development workflow is demonstrated that uses applications of flowback analysis along with other commonly applied multidisciplinary analysis methods.
