To optimize the development plan of a giant carbonate reservoir offshore Abu Dhabi to extend the production plateau and improve recovery, detailed sector models were used to facilitate the large number of required simulation runs.

Oil quality and drilling-pad constraints for a viscous-oil field defined a development scheme that consisted of a waterflood line drive with horizontal producers and water-injection (WINJ) wells side by side.

The ability to predict the effect of faults on locating remaining hydrocarbon is critical to optimal well-placement, reservoir-management, and field development decisions.

After offering incentives to international operators last year to drill in Argentina, the country still has more work to do in attracting foreign investment.

Newly developed ambient seismic imaging methods provide valuable information throughout the life cycle of an unconventional field.

A biotechnology company from the San Francisco Bay Area is selling a futuristic solution to an old problem: lubricating drill bits grinding though rock.

Production engineers are often asked to manage both the artificial lift (AL) system and the upstream chemical injection program for a project.

The oil price cannot be USD 20 for any long period because we cannot produce enough oil to feed the world at that price. But if the price of oil is based on supply and demand, how could it fall to USD 20 at any point in time?

Nontechnical risks, primarily around HSE or social responsibility, increasingly pose risks to project timelines. To manage these risks, companies are seeking systems that can ensure quality performance in these operational areas.

Edward E. Horton III, SPE, died on 13 August 2015 at the age of 87. He was known for his contributions to the offshore oil and gas industry and is recognized as the inventor of the tension leg platform and the spar. During the 1960s, Horton worked as a principal engineer for the ;National Academy of Sciences on the Mohole deepwater drilling project. He served in execu…
