This study catalogs global gas/oil ratio data to identify currently produced light crude oils that could be rendered carbon neutral through the direct-air-capture mechanism.

A new program offers an affordable way to figure out if salt precipitation could be behind underperforming gas wells and suggests a path to higher production.

The supermajor redefined its Mad Dog II development in three key ways: a blank-sheet redesign to cut costs, altering the way it works as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and a digital twin offering unique access to the asset from anywhere in the world.

This paper describes a work flow that integrates data analysis, machine learning, and artificial intelligence to unlock the potential of large relative permeability databases.

The objective of this study was to establish an efficient optimization work flow to improve vertical and areal sweep in a sour-gas injection operation, thereby maximizing recovery under operation constraints.

The objective of this paper is to present a fundamentals-based model of three-phase flow consistent with observation that avoids the pitfalls of conventional models such as Stone II or Baker’s three-phase permeability models.

This paper presents an intelligent tube solution that combines data retrieved by the sensors with the actual resistance of each pipe in the well to allow adjustment of production parameters while ensuring installation safety.

This paper introduces a method using a Bayesian network to aggregate trends detected in time-series data with events identified by natural language processing to improve the accuracy and robustness of kick and lost-circulation detection.

Leading energy technology companies unite to unlock efficiencies and increase reserve recoveries using digital advances.

A decade ago, SPE defined key R&D and technology challenges for the industry. To address the more uncertain environment of the 2020s and beyond, we have updated the grand challenges via a January 2023 SPE workshop.

CNPC’s record-breaking 11,100-m exploration borehole in the Taklamakan Desert promises to unlock the science of producing oil and gas trapped in the world’s deepest reservoirs.

Recent developments from Equinor and Murphy Oil Corp. offer hope that the industry is zeroing in the right approach to building megaprojects.
