C. Susan Howes is the nominee for 2027 SPE President. She and four others make up the new slate of nominees recommended for positions open on the SPE International Board of Directors. -
Advanced tracer technology was deployed in Oklahoma to analyze production across lateral well sections. -
In the next 3 to 5 years, South America and the Middle East will lead global investment, driven by greenfield developments, exploration, and midstream infrastructure. Brazil’s growth is fueled by deepwater pre-salt projects, while the Middle East focuses on gas and LNG, especially in Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. -
An oversupply of LNG carriers is putting downward pressure on charter rates, pushing them to historic lows. Newbuild LNG carrier deliveries have been outpacing the construction and permitting of new liquefaction facilities needed to support them. -
Whether it’s reviving inactive gas-condensate wells or identifying overlooked reserves in brownfields, operators are making the most of older wells and fields. -
After 5 years of in-depth diagnostic research, the Oklahoma City-based operator shares more insights on fracture behavior.
-
Managed-pressure drilling has been associated as a technology used only on problematic wells and only as a last resort. However, when integrated at the beginning of operations as part of a comprehensive well plan, it becomes a performance-enhancing solution for any type of well classification, including development, directional, multilaterals, and horizontals. -
Capitalizing on technology that originated with NASA delivers savings on directional drilling operations.
-
A team of engineers did something no one had done before: a full-scale fracturing test on the surface. The results surprised the fracturing experts involved.
-
The Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) has named the 2022 recipients of the Spotlight on New Technology Award. A total of 14 companies, including seven small businesses, were recognized this year for their breakthrough hardware and software technologies.
-
The message from a single chart’s data from the first full-scale hydraulic fracturing surface test is simple: Far less proppant flows out of the first clusters passed in a stage than the last ones.
-
A system that could help turn stranded-gas fields into producing projects has moved closer to reality, aided by the growing focus on reductions in carbon emissions.
-
As the number of discoveries goes down and headwinds increase, the days of the US Gulf of Mexico megaproject could be numbered.
-
New research from Hess offers compelling evidence that two layers of tight rock can be treated as one and how passive wells can become oil producers.
-
Is it possible to predict future petroleum engineering graduation rates based on past trends? The answer is no. But this discussion by experts in both analysis and academia shows those trends can offer some interesting insights.
-
Skyrocketing demand for the commodity has created a lithium deficit that could slow the pace of the energy transition. Industry is scrambling to find new sources by opening new mines or devising new technologies to extract lithium from brines, including brines found in produced water from oil and gas operations.
