Two examples from ONGC show how supervised AI-driven automation scaled well modeling across hundreds of offshore wells, saving more than 1,000 engineering hours. -
Examples demonstrate how an Integrated Operations Center as a Service (IOCaaS) model, powered by artificial intelligence, reduced costs by 5% and increased production by 6% in Canada. -
Findings from two new SPE papers argue that the tight-rock sector needs to rethink longstanding assumptions about how hydraulic fractures form underground. -
The newest recipient of the title SPE Legend of Hydraulic Fracturing talks about his career, the evolution of fracture stimulation, the development of increasingly useful simulators, and the future of the oil and gas industry. The honor was given at the 2026 SPE Hydraulic Fracturing Technology Conference and Exhibition. -
Ian Phillips is the nominee for 2028 SPE President. He and six others make up the new slate of nominees recommended for positions open on the SPE International Board of Directors. -
Improved bit and bottomhole-assembly technologies and designs have helped turn what used to be record-breaking drilling runs into routine expectations.
-
Oman is embarking on a renewed effort to deploy the latest hydraulic fracturing technologies and techniques, tailored to its unique reservoirs and challenges. -
Addressing the challenge of developing a mature basin with a data-driven approach to spacing and inventory decisions.
-
From its origins running just a few light bulbs in Tuscany in 1904 to supporting baseloads on national power grids today, geothermal power generation has been driven by technological advancements. Many of these advancements stem from oil and gas exploration and production efforts.
-
Monitoring on the ground is helping the industry shift from best estimates to hard data so it can bring the true emissions profile into focus.
-
To overcome operational constraints tied to ball-and-seat valves, an operator tested a spring-loaded alternative downhole.
-
Despite a 2.8% drop in liquefied natural gas exports in 2025 because of lost market share in China, Australia anticipates a 2026 rebound as new North West Shelf capacity comes online. Meanwhile, East Coast operators brace for a tsunami of wells entering the decommissioning pipeline and potential energy shortfalls necessitating LNG imports.
-
Field results highlight how rethinking tubing-anchor-catcher design can reduce gas interference and support late-life production.
-
Even as output hits record highs, a growing recognition of the Permian’s maturity is opening the door for new technologies to improve performance.
-
Operators are turning to new gas-lift and nanoparticle-fluid technologies to drive up production rates.
-
As cutting-edge technologies unlock geothermal potential, Japan is channeling investments into powerhouse projects across the US, Indonesia, and New Zealand and priming its own reserves for a clean energy boom at home.
