Talent & Technology: Soft Competency Development as a Global Challenge Soft competencies provide individuals with the ability to manage social, cultural, technical, and environmental expectations.

At the Unconventional Resources Technology Conference in Denver, discussion revolved around solving problems below ground and above ground.

Over the next few years, water treatment technologies are expected to continue to be deployed in the basin, as drought drives aquifer levels to new lows.

Members who made outstanding contributions to SPE and the petroleum industry will receive special distinction at SPE's annual conference.

Semisubmersible floating production systems (SFPSs) with steel catenary risers (SCRs) are attractive field-development solutions, especially in deeper water of Western Australia. However, SCR design is challenging in the offshore Western Australia environment because of severe cyclonic environments.

The full-field development plan for the Khazzan project in Oman is based on drilling approximately 300 wells targeting gas-producing horizons at measured depths of approximately 6000 m with 1000 m horizontal sections.

Although the use of managed-pressure drilling is helping drilling operation by allowing better pressure control in the annulus, there are also new risks to be taken into consideration.

Pressurized-mud-cap drilling (PMCD) and early kick detection (EKD) are two unconventional drilling techniques that have been used widely individually, mostly in relation to closed and pressurizable systems and to managed-pressure-drilling (MPD) applications.

The development and production of oil and gas resources supported by more-available continuous real-time data sources entail incessant learning and knowledge search over a relatively long period of time.

The development of an economically efficient drilling program in shale-gas plays is a challenging task, requiring a large number of wells; even with many wells, the average well production and the variation of well performance (economics) remain highly uncertain.
