Oil prices are high, but spending has not caught up—yet. Meanwhile, exploration strategies are changing around the world toward a lower-risk model, and the frenzied pace of US M&A has very much cooled off. -
This case study outlines a full-scale testing program focused on the behavior of thermal casing connections subjected to severe bending and low-cycle fatigue loading. -
With millions of wells having been drilled in the US since the beginning of the oil age, the land is pocked with old, unused wellbores. For most, repurposing is a pipe dream. Plugging is the best option. -
Disposal wells remain the lowest-cost solution for produced water, but concerns over seismicity and long-term sustainability are accelerating interest in alternatives. -
As managed pressure drilling gains traction, its principles are influencing a wider range of well-construction activities. -
This case study presents the first field deployment of acoustic fracturing analysis to evaluate perforation efficiency and implement real-time interventions during pressure pumping.
-
The “Western Haynesville” boasts big gas IPs with potential running room. -
An engineered approach to fracture growth in hydraulic fracturing highlights the successful execution of H2S prevention strategies in North Dakota’s Williston Basin.
-
Few oil and gas companies give data science projects the better part of a decade to prove out, but that’s just what this one did.
-
One is on Earth, and one is not. But the knowledge transfer between the oil patch and off-world has fueled meaningful technological advances for all involved.

Players are making big bets in the thriving yet fragile global LNG market with record global trade expected to grow another 25% in the next 5 years.
-
A survey of SPE members associated with a university, or their job/role to be faculty, collected information about the effect of the energy transition on recruiting students, strategic directions in academic programs, and maintaining a relevant curriculum for future careers.
-
More Students Going Into Petroleum Engineering Programs as Research Work Tilts to Alternative EnergyMore freshmen are enrolling in petroleum engineering, drawn by strong demand for graduates.
-
Prior to proceeding with a contract to fulfil a rigless P&A campaign for Sasol in Mozambique, BiSN designed a field trial to prove the effectiveness of its bismuth plug technology. Although the technology had been used in 19 countries by BiSN for a variety of downhole applications, it had not yet been qualified for use in Mozambique.
-
The best wells in which to find lithium are in old conventional fields where rusty pump jacks are pulling out mostly water.
-
As money pours into the space, questions arise about whether the method of removing carbon from the atmosphere is the best investment.
