In this year’s Heavy Oil feature, it’s clear that, even as many enhanced recovery techniques become established and mainstream, supporting technologies continue to march forward to allow a better and more-robust understanding of our trade.

This paper explores the sustainability and safety aspects of laser perforation with a focus on factors such as water requirement, asset integrity, logistics, safety, and surface footprint.

This paper describes an intelligent completion system in the context of multiple wells that, by electrifying the process, replaces the conventional electrohydraulic systems that have been in use for decades.

The paper describes a parameter inversion of reservoirs based on featured points, using a semi-iterative well-test-curve-matching approach that addresses problems of imbalanced inversion accuracy and efficiency.

This paper aims to present thoroughly the application of subsurface safety injection valves in extremely high-temperature environments.

These three papers leverage machine learning and hybrid methods to tackle challenges in forecasting, optimization, and reservoir characterization.

Most sustainability efforts have been put into alternative or renewable energy research and development and in reducing flaring and venting intensity. While the industry has shown great progress in these areas, there are still many areas that could contribute to sustainability aspirations, one of them being well completions.

New case studies highlight how artificial intelligence, advanced hardware, and innovative business models are enabling success in drilling automation.

In the next 3 to 5 years, South America and the Middle East will lead global investment, driven by greenfield developments, exploration, and midstream infrastructure. Brazil’s growth is fueled by deepwater pre-salt projects, while the Middle East focuses on gas and LNG, especially in Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE.

Written on behalf of the SPE Business and Leadership Committee, this article explores the four generations in the upstream energy workforce, highlighting their unique traits and the impact of 40 years of industry changes. It also discusses how DEI, reverse mentoring, and employee resource groups can bridge generational gaps to boost collaboration and productivity in t…
