Data mining techniques are unlocking new insights from the performance of thousands of Bakken wells. This article explores how those insights are helping refine completion optimization.

This year’s Acidizing feature presents three SPE conference papers that discuss an important battlefront of enhanced production—carbonate reservoirs, those plays whose heterogeneity, reactivity, and flow behavior pose challenges that remain comparatively little-understood, despite the industry’s intensified efforts to maximize their output.

The three papers selected for this feature highlight some creative solutions that aim to increase project value by either increasing recovery or optimizing injectant cost, or both.

Each of these papers presented at SPE conferences exemplifies engineering solutions to maximize commercial value while retaining focus on HSE and service quality.

The early enthusiasm for carbon capture and storage (CCS) is showing signs of strain as the limited capital availability and political support become clearer.

Once labeled “undrillable,” Brazil’s heavy-oil Atlanta field in the Santos Basin faced technical, financial, and logistical challenges. But through a phased approach, clever reuse of assets, and disciplined project execution, Brava Energia transformed a risky deepwater asset into a producing field with 172 million BOE in 2P reserves.

New strides in computer vision, well controls indicators, and BOP alignment were showcased at the recent Offshore Technology Conference.

The emergency permitting rules aim to accelerate geothermal energy development. Ormat Technologies' three Nevada projects will be the first to benefit from the streamlined process, with environmental reviews cut from years to weeks.
