This case study outlines a methodology to optimize and control hydraulic fracturing parameters by achieving 100% cluster efficiency and overcoming formation leak-off. -
The road to a low-carbon world is paved with more than just shiny new facilities and the promise to deliver impressive CO₂ reductions from the atmosphere. Without the software to site, monitor, and maintain those facilities, the drive for net zero would be stuck in neutral. -
The birthplace of Royal Dutch Shell, Indonesia and Malaysia, buck trends and grow their gas and oil industries, expecting a record number of final investment decisions in the next 4 years in gas, deep water, and carbon capture projects to support Southeast Asia’s booming economic growth. -
Undergraduate education in petroleum engineering has survived the latest downturn in the industry, and enrollment has started to show an uptick in numbers. However, a different trend is evident in graduate training and academic research: the number of researchers being trained in oil and gas topics is drastically dropping. -
What we’ve learned about faster drilling in oil and gas applied just as well to geothermal development—until we reached The Geysers. -
Technology uptake aimed at optimizing resources, delivering consistency, and augmenting what humans can do.
-
The Energy & Environmental Research Center in North Dakota outlines the difficulty that the oil and gas industry faces in pinpointing sources of H2S production. -
Over the past 75 years, drillers have gone from the Stone Age to the Space Age when it comes to technological improvements in well construction methods. Yesterday’s crude wood and iron drilling techniques have given way to today’s video game-inspired controls and robotic assistance—much of which migrated from offshore applications. These advancements have driven costs…
-
Straddling Europe and Asia, the Black Sea is emerging as a frontier for deepwater gas exploration and production as Romania and Turkey drive projects complicated by subsea hazards found nowhere else on earth.
-
Shale Ingenuity’s first pilot used common natural gas liquids to boost daily output 30-fold from a low-producing horizontal well in Texas.
-
Maximizing profits in geothermal energy may require the flexibility to adjust output as electricity prices fluctuate. Battery storage can ensure power is available when prices peak.
-
New and evolving artificial lift technology is helping operators improve production rates.
-
Each year during its Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition (ATCE), SPE honors members whose outstanding contributions to SPE and the petroleum industry merit special distinction. Recipients will be recognized at the Annual Awards Banquet on Tuesday, 24 September.
-
To choose the right technologies for a gas-compression package, it’s critical for operators to have a clear understanding of their business and greenhouse‑gas emissions-related goals. Operators also need clarity concerning the impact of evolving requirements on total cost of ownership as well as potential financial ramifications.
-
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.
-
One hydraulic fracturing job can stimulate two wells, but economic success hinges on doing it in the right place for the right price.
