Case studies from Devon Energy, ConocoPhillips, and others show how clever engineering and technology are being used to improve recovery and asset value. -
Novel lift systems, AI-driven automation, and real-time engineering models are helping operators extract more value from mature wells. -
This case study from ARC Resources and DarkVision outlines the use of acoustic imaging tools in two active fracturing programs in Canada to monitor well casing deformation. -
This case study from Tomax outlines the use of artificial intelligence to analyze high-fidelity data of the full drilling process. -
The creation of SPE’s Acid Stimulation Technical Section shines a light on the technique that improves injectivity and productivity. JPT talked with the chair of the new section about the importance of the technical area. -
As the pace of new discoveries slows and high-quality prospects become harder to find, oil companies may need to rely more heavily on mature fields to maintain production and support future supply.
-
Technology uptake aimed at optimizing resources, delivering consistency, and augmenting what humans can do. -
The road to a low-carbon world is paved with more than just shiny new facilities and the promise to deliver impressive CO₂ reductions from the atmosphere. Without the software to site, monitor, and maintain those facilities, the drive for net zero would be stuck in neutral.
-
What we’ve learned about faster drilling in oil and gas applied just as well to geothermal development—until we reached The Geysers.
-
Maximizing profits in geothermal energy may require the flexibility to adjust output as electricity prices fluctuate. Battery storage can ensure power is available when prices peak.
-
New and evolving artificial lift technology is helping operators improve production rates.
-
Straddling Europe and Asia, the Black Sea is emerging as a frontier for deepwater gas exploration and production as Romania and Turkey drive projects complicated by subsea hazards found nowhere else on earth.
-
Shale Ingenuity’s first pilot used common natural gas liquids to boost daily output 30-fold from a low-producing horizontal well in Texas.
-
The Energy & Environmental Research Center in North Dakota outlines the difficulty that the oil and gas industry faces in pinpointing sources of H2S production.
-
Over the past 75 years, drillers have gone from the Stone Age to the Space Age when it comes to technological improvements in well construction methods. Yesterday’s crude wood and iron drilling techniques have given way to today’s video game-inspired controls and robotic assistance—much of which migrated from offshore applications. These advancements have driven costs…
