Onshore gas developments are often characterized by drilling, fracturing, and production of wells before low-pressure gas-gathering systems are in place. As well production declines, liquid-loading issues begin to appear. Use of a twin-screw pump to boost deliquefication was investigated.

The oil and gas E&P industry faces big challenges to meet the world’s growing energy needs and the solutions are uncertain. For that reason, SPE is holding a Research and Development (R&D) Competition to encourage researchers from the basic sciences and other engineering disciplines to engage these challenges. The competition focuses on six Grand Challenges identified…

SPE has honored several university professors for their excellence in teaching and efforts to recruit faculty and students to petroleum engineering schools.

SPE now has a presence in Myanmar. Its 214th section—the Myanmar Section—was established 25 September 2013. The SPE International Board of Directors meeting this month will be held in Yangon, and the section’s inauguration will become official with that meeting. According to Jeff Spath, SPE president, in his column in this issue of JPT, the new Myanmar Section’s prese…

The Cambay Joint Venture secured the Essar Rig 4 for drilling the Cambay-77H well in its Cambay Tight Hydrocarbon Project in the Cambay basin in India through Essar Oilfield Services. The well is expected to be spudded in the middle of the first quarter.

Once again, we find ourselves in a time of extreme challenges on many fronts in the arena of well construction, with corresponding needs for technological advancements.

Drilling horizontal infill wells in the Pierce field in the UK central North Sea is challenging because of a narrow drilling window caused by depletion in a highly fractured reservoir.

Casing drilling is a method by which the well is drilled and cased simultaneously.

Managed-pressure drilling (MPD) has been used in Vietnam since 2007 to address a number of drilling and reservoir challenges.

In 2011, the Kuwait Oil Company (KOC) considered enhancement of equipment specifications for deep drilling rigs to integrate state-of-the-art technologies.
