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.
-
There will always be a need for good artificial lift engineers. So, what should the next generation of its professionals be trying to pursue? -
Early adopters of large language models praise the technology’s promise to advance upstream research and software development while also offering cautionary notes.
-
Executives from BKV Corp. share why the mid-sized natural gas producer is diving headfirst into carbon sequestration projects and why you should too.
-
The topics covered in JPT’s Technology Focus feature span the breadth of the upstream industry. A review of these topics over the years illustrates the changes that have affected E&P professionals.
-
Chevron has some new ideas on how to get more oil for less cost out of shale wells in their early years.
-
Longtime JPT Technology Editor Dennis Denney discusses his career at SPE and the development of the magazine’s Technology Focus feature.
-
The Libra Consortium, led by Brazil’s Petrobras, has developed a method of separating carbon dioxide from reservoir fluids at the seafloor rather than the FPSO topsides.
-
Casing deformations are common in the south-west shale regions of China and the Middle East, where the widespread use of 5.5-in., 26- and 26.8-lb/ft casing is the norm. In these regions, the majority of frac plugs are designed with an outer diameter (OD) of 4.055 in. or slightly larger, which frequently encounter restrictions resulting in the loss of bottomhole assemb…

An engineered approach to fracture growth in hydraulic fracturing highlights the successful execution of H2S prevention strategies in North Dakota’s Williston Basin.
-
The increasing demand for critical minerals—the building blocks of an electrified future—is creating opportunities for the oil and gas industry to apply its extensive knowledge, tools, and data to help meet the demand.
