This paper’s focus is a case study of an Eagle Ford refracturing project in which a range of completion designs were trialed with an approach using offset sealed wellbore pressure monitoring and fiber-optic strain.

SPE President Terry Palisch is joined by Paige McCown, SPE senior manager of communication and energy education, to discuss how members can improve the industry’s public image.

The authors of this paper propose a hybrid approach that combines physics with data-driven approaches for efficient and accurate forecasting of the performance of unconventional wells under codevelopment.

Jennifer L. Miskimins is the nominee for 2026 SPE President. She and six others make up the new slate of nominees recommended for positions open on the SPE International Board of Directors.

This paper describes a full-field and near-wellbore poromechanics coupling scheme used to model productivity-index degradation against time.

This paper develops a deep-learning work flow that can predict the changes in carbon dioxide mineralization over time and space in saline aquifers, offering a more-efficient approach compared with traditional physics-based simulations.

To avoid costly interventions like sidetracking or wellbore abandonment, a check-valve system was installed near the sandface within three injector wells which prevented the mobilization of fines from the reservoir into the wellbore by stopping backflow.

From the first supercomputer to generative AI, JPT has followed the advancement of digital technology in the petroleum industry. As the steady march of innovation continues, four experts give their views on the state and future of data science in the industry.

The use of oil-based muds has precluded countless drill cuttings from being used to predict reservoir fluids despite once being part of the reservoir. A 6-decade-old technology may be on the cusp of changing that.

The Mexican state oil company turns to the bit in a bid to add meaningful reserves from the deep Mexican Gulf.

Pink hydrogen, produced through water electrolysis powered by nuclear energy, recently drew attention which underscored the complexity of decision-making in advancing such projects.

Enhancement to the drillship comes ahead of work commitment on Shell's Sparta development in the US Gulf of Mexico, its first in the Gulf to produce from 20K reservoirs.
