At the SPE Hydraulic Fracturing Technology Conference, one of the most innovative ideas discussed was a liquid proppant designed to turn into strong spherical balls to keep a fracture open.

In this cost-cutting market environment, completion engineers face added pressure to maximize the return on every dollar invested when putting unconventional wells into production.

The development of conventional reservoirs has typically involved minimal logging-while-drilling (LWD) technology, usually consisting of survey, gamma ray, and possibly resistivity tools.

The Reelwell Drilling Method (RDM) is a new technology developed to solve certain drilling problems and improve the operation margin for various applications.

For more than 50 years pressure transient tests have been used to model conventional reservoir properties in wells all over the world. In unconventional reservoirs, it was first assumed this kind of test could not be done; however, a sensitive pressure gauge technology makes it possible.

North America will transition from a net importer of energy to a net exporter this year, according to BP Energy Outlook 2035.

This paper describes the planning and execution of use of mud-cap fluid in the drilling of an ultranarrow-margin (0.50-lbm/gal window at the planning stage) high-pressure/high-temperature (HP/HT) well from a jackup rig.

The Macondo explosion and oil spill occurred 5 years ago this month, freezing activity in the US Gulf of Mexico and putting the industry in a negative spotlight for weeks.

Questions posed by 2015 SPE President Helge Hove Haldorsen.

Although principal-component analysis (PCA) has been applied widely to reduce the number of parameters characterizing a reservoir, its disadvantages are well-recognized.
