Since the late 1930s, the offshore industry has advanced from the first platform in 14 ft of water to the ultradeepwater 20K era. Driven by seismic, drilling, and development breakthroughs, the industry has pushed into deeper waters, high-pressure reservoirs, and new frontiers like Guyana, continually expanding the limits of offshore exploration.

In this inaugural episode of his vodcast and column, 2025 SPE President Olivier Houzé shares his insights on the challenges facing our Society and its members, as well as his vision for his presidency.

Hurricane prognosticators continue to believe the 2024 Atlantic storm season will be more active than normal, even after a somewhat slow start. In any case, the oil field is ready.

This paper describes the development of a comprehensive digital solution for well surveillance and field-production optimization for an offshore field consisting of four stacked reservoirs, each containing near-critical fluids.

This paper describes a workflow that has been established to calculate the value of reservoir surveillance in producing gas fields based on established value-of-information methods.

This paper describes a new integrated workflow for automated well monitoring using pressure and rate measurements obtained with permanent gauges and flowmeters.

This paper presents an evaluation of the lithium potential of assets in the North Sea.

This paper presents an automated underwater robot and a nondestructive testing eddy-current probe for alternating-current field measurement analysis of jacket main welds.

This paper proposes a method to radically revise the well-path-generation process to reach the vision of planning a well in one day with high quality, relying on the collection of experience-based constraints from each discipline to generate possible alternatives.

This study aims to optimize the use of rhamnolipid biosurfactants for enhancing the bioremediation of hydrocarbon-contaminated soil.

The goal of the project described in this paper was to test the added value of shear-wave velocity interpreted from underwater multichannel analysis surface waves, particularly as a propagation tool of geotechnical information.

This paper assesses the potential of augmented depletion development in four US plays: Bakken, Eagle Ford, Midland, and the Anadarko Basin.
