Building up the world’s hydrogen base will need technological breakthroughs and a lot of new demand. But to store it, the world needs reservoir engineers and other subsurface experts.

Olivier Houzé is the nominee for 2025 SPE President. He and six others make up the new slate of nominees recommended for positions open on the SPE International Board of Directors.

The authors of this paper discuss Saudi Arabia’s progress in gas flaring, the measures the government has taken, and how operators have adapted.

This paper compiles recommendations from a broad range of sources into a single document to aid future intelligent-completion installations and operations.

The authors of this paper develop a robust history-matched reservoir simulation model capable of predicting polymerflooding performance in the first such pilot to enhance heavy oil recovery on Alaska’s North Slope.

This paper presents autonomous-inflow-control-device installations in multiple horizontal wells of the Singue oilfield development in Ecuador.

The industry continues its move toward energy transition, demonstrating different stages among companies. These industry changes are affecting our current and future members, and SPE is working to provide guidance and education to our members through many avenues.

The authors of this paper describe an initiative taken to measure baseline data for methane emission for gas-processing facilities and gas-transmission and regasification units by using accurate tools and methodologies for detection and quantification.

The authors of this paper define a work flow that constrains solutions that match models and field observations and obtains a more-representative model for forecasting and optimizing fracture behavior.

This paper presents an automated calibration process, probabilistic infill well ranking, and location optimization for a major heavy oil field in Colombia with original oil in place of more than 5 million STB.

A series of new liquefaction projects along the US Gulf Coast is cutting through industry headwinds and moving toward final investment decisions.

The objective of this study is to conduct a comprehensive review of the latest technologies and work flows developed for heavy oil reservoir management.
