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.
-
Makers of continuous sucker rods are out to convince customers that it really is possible to make a better sucker rod that could save them some money. -
Recent studies have reignited the question of whether US oil and gas companies are ignoring the opportunity to refracture large swaths of maturing assets.
-
In this second part of a two-part series on advances in artificial lift, we’ll look at the state of optimization and a trio of techniques and technologies under development or new to the market. Look for quarterly reviews of specific types of lift in upcoming issues in the new year.
-
US GOM players have come out of the pandemic slowdown with new perspectives on spending and cycle times and are targeting finds that can utilize existing hardware instead of those that require new iron.
-
In this first part of a two-part series, we look at how the artificial-lift sector has adapted to producing unconventional resources. The second part of the series to publish in November will crack open the lift toolbox to take a deeper look at the techniques and technologies under development or new to the market.
-
Each year during its Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition, 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, 4 October.
-
Founded by former analytics experts for a large US independent, Xecta Digital Labs is proposing a new analysis method for horizontal wells. Adopting it means turning the page on some old habits.
-
Oil and gas operators around the globe are targeting reductions in offshore carbon emissions, and facilities electrification is the key that will help them meet their goals.
-
Injecting gas plus water proved more effective and less costly than gas-only injection in the Bakken.
-
When Occidental Resources switched to bigger fracture designs to produce more oil, it produced more water as well. Based on research done since, they cannot have one without the other, and at the oil prices recently seen, that’s OK.
