EQT is benchmarking its way to basin-leading productivity and relying on partnerships and new technology to turn KPIs into operational reality. -
Drilling experts recently shared candid views on what will be required for their segment of the upstream business to move to the next stage of development. -
This case study from Italian technology developer Sentris highlights the effectiveness of using sensors during pigging operations to optimize cleaning efficiency. -
Experts and industry leaders gathered in The Woodlands, Texas, recently to sift through the challenges of carbon capture, utilization, and storage. The puzzle is coming together, but some critical pieces are still needed before the results look like the picture on the box. -
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.
-
Stunningly ambitious plans to create global carbon capture and storage that rivals the scale of today’s oil and gas production will require a host of technical skills to determine if it is even possible. -
The enrollment trend in petroleum engineering programs continues downward, but a big increase in oil prices has resurrected thoughts of past enrollment booms.
-
Pandemic gridlock, rerouting risk, and net-zero expectations are squeezing oilfield service companies into change.
-
Carbonate reservoirs require effective acid stimulation to improve well productivity. For long horizontal wells, a complicating factor has previously been the difficulty of controlling acid placement along the reservoir section. The Smart Liner concept uses a number of small holes spaced in such a way so as to distribute the acid evenly along the reservoir interval.
-
The study assessed the CO2 footprint and NO2 emissions for different drill-cuttings treatment alternatives. The values were then used to create an emissions calculator that can be applied to projects to clarify the actual potential for emissions reduction within the drilling-waste-management process.
-
The Gulf of Mexico explorer is building off its offshore learnings to scoop up early carbon capture and sequestrations projects on the US Gulf Coast.
-
When water and metal meet, you get corrosion. You also get a good dose of creative engineering and innovation.
-
It appears to be possible to sense how fractures change during production using ultrasensitive fiber-optic strain measurements.
-
A rigless chemical frac-hit remediation process was designed to address the damage mechanisms of capillary phase trapping, reduced hydrocarbon relative permeability, paraffin deposition, and minor scale deposition.
-
When it comes to produced water from US shale plays, it’s either recycle and reuse or throw it away—and both are easier said than done.
