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. -
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. -
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. -
This case study from Erdos Miller outlines the use of magnetic short-hop technologies to complement the use of mud pulsers to transmit telemetry to surface.
-
Each year during its Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition (ATCE), SPE honors members whose outstanding contributions to SPE and the petroleum industry merit special distinction. Recipients will be recognized at the Annual Awards Banquet on Tuesday, 24 September. -
To choose the right technologies for a gas-compression package, it’s critical for operators to have a clear understanding of their business and greenhouse‑gas emissions-related goals. Operators also need clarity concerning the impact of evolving requirements on total cost of ownership as well as potential financial ramifications.
-
Hurricane prognosticators continue to believe the 2024 Atlantic storm season will be more active than normal, even after a somewhat slow start. In any case, the oil field is ready.
-
One hydraulic fracturing job can stimulate two wells, but economic success hinges on doing it in the right place for the right price.
-
The energy industry faces a shortage of skilled professionals, and high salaries aren’t enough to attract new talent. We need to show how careers in this field offer meaning and stability, with transferable skills across energy sectors.
-
Fervo Energy proved fracturing can harvest geothermal energy and is now rapidly learning to build a utility-scale power plant.
-
Since the late 1930s, the offshore industry has advanced from the first platform in 14 ft of water to the ultradeepwater 20K era. Driven by seismic, drilling, and development breakthroughs, the industry has pushed into deeper waters, high-pressure reservoirs, and new frontiers like Guyana, continually expanding the limits of offshore exploration.
-
The Earth has huge capacity to store carbon dioxide emitted from energy production. This article discusses the technology of carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) and its challenges.
-
A special Legends of Artificial Lift Luncheon on 20 August at the SPE Artificial Lift Conference and Exhibition celebrated six individuals for their outstanding contributions to the technical knowledge in this field: Ali Hernandez, Louis Ray, Francisco Alhanati, James Hall, Lawrence Camilleri, and Toby Pugh.
-
The new frontier of production improvement combines surveillance techniques and analysis to determine which variables boost output.
