Oman is embarking on a renewed effort to deploy the latest hydraulic fracturing technologies and techniques, tailored to its unique reservoirs and challenges. -
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. -
Addressing the challenge of developing a mature basin with a data-driven approach to spacing and inventory decisions. -
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.
-
Oxane Materials' advanced cerammic proppant travels farther during fracturing in larger quantities, thereby leading to smoother, higher flows of oil and gas. -
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.
-
Drilling in extreme environments is helping drive advances in the oil and gas industry and presents analogs that can be mined for insight.
-
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.
-
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.
