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.
-
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…
