This paper describes the use of encapsulated polymer technology to address the issues of shear degradation and injectivity integrity faced in the application of polymer flooding in an offshore development context.

This paper reviews existing literature, the operator’s records, service-company data, and simulation studies to assess the risk of using seawater in carbonate acidizing.

The paper describes a project in which extremely challenging stimulations were performed in a fractured tight carbonate in a complex strike/slip stress faulting regime with high tectonic stresses.

This study provides the first experimental evidence that in-situ combustion is feasible in Permian shale under realistic rock–fluid conditions.

The works highlighted in this year’s Acidizing feature demonstrate novel, diverse innovations in sustainability, enhanced productivity, and logistical efficiency by authors of SPE conference papers.

The three papers in this year’s Hydraulic Fracturing Operations feature automation, challenging carbonate reservoirs, and work in Alaska’s North Slope.

This case study from Erdos Miller outlines the use of magnetic short-hop technologies to complement the use of mud pulsers to transmit telemetry to surface.

This case study from SLB and offshore producer PRIO describes the longest openhole section in Latin America with the highest extended-reach drilling ratio in Brazil’s history.

New insights from Chevron, Occidental Petroleum, and others at the SPE Improved Oil Recovery Conference highlight the different paths companies are using to squeeze more out of tight rocks.

An update on SPE’s path to financial sustainability: stronger revenues, new partnerships, and emerging opportunities—from geothermal initiatives to AI-driven licensing—are improving the outlook. While challenges remain, recent progress highlights a more resilient Society and a forward-looking strategy focused on long-term member value.
