-
This case study describes how edge computing and industrial internet of things platforms were deployed to automate and optimize production operations across four distinct basins.
-
This case study presents a procedure in which the operator compared production from wells with adjusted wettability to a control group, finding that the adjustments resulted in significant improvements in production and reductions in produced water.
-
As equipment advances to handle extreme pressures and temperatures, new Gulf opportunities are emerging—alongside increasing operator demands for standardized, scalable, faster, and more affordable solutions.
-
Ultradeepwater prospects along the northern coast of Brazil could help offset decline in legacy basins, though permitting hurdles remain a wild card.
-
The US federal government is working to stymie offshore wind power, but proponents aren’t going quietly. Armed with data, they are taking on a sea of misinformation and hostility to defend the burgeoning resource in the US, while the rest of the world moves ahead briskly.
-
This case study from SLB and offshore producer PRIO describes the longest openhole section in Latin America with the highest extended-reach drilling ratio in Brazil’s history.
-
Members who made outstanding contributions to SPE and the petroleum industry will receive special distinction at the 2013 SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition.
-
The rapid growth of progressing cavity pumps is an example of how new uses continue to emerge for older technology.
-
Oil-rich but gas-short countries in the Middle East-north Africa region are exploring unconventional resources, particularly for shale and tight gas, and assessing their potential for long-term growth.
-
Offshore engineering companies are taking existing technologies and lessons learned from floating rigs to create a new platform design that will allow drilling in deeper waters.
-
Drilling in extreme environments is helping drive advances in the oil and gas industry and presents analogs that can be mined for insight.
-
New ventures supported by Surge Accelerator, a company that offers financial support, training, and advice from mentors, are creating software to improve oil and gas operations.
-
The discovery of additional unconventional resources, new oil recovery techniques, and more university collaborations have led to Saudi Aramco's record performance and increased technical capabilities.
-
Universities are working on some of the oil and gas industry's most challenging hurdles to develop new technologies and techniques to meet the increasing global demand for energy.
-
Measurement-while-drilling (MWD) tools were introduced to the oil and gas industry in 1978 by what was then known as Teleco Oilfield Services (bought by Baker Hughes in 1992).
-
The discrepancy between crude and natural gas prices and estimates of increasing natural gas reserves are driving companies to study small-scale gas-to-liquids plants that can tie in multiple sources or stranded gas for a greater profit.
