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.
-
At the center of a rush to build carbon storage is the state of Louisiana, where the number of applications to build long-term storage is equal to half the sites operating globally. -
The recent Permian Basin earthquakes in Texas are keeping producers, regulators, and service providers busy in their quest to reduce the intensity and frequency of the induced seismic events.
-
One of the problems with geothermal is that the rock that is hot enough to create the steam needed to run a power plant is also capable of destroying drilling hardware.
-
Satellite imaging of methane emissions offers the fossil fuel industry the empirical data it needs to fix problems that companies might not even know they have before the EPA starts to levy fines in 2024.
-
Industry leaders are harnessing the power of data to improve efficiencies, eliminate nonproductive time, and reduce Capex.

Before 2012, water management for unconventional oil and gas plays was in its infancy and was trying to keep up with operations. Today, many of the initial challenges have been resolved but new challenges persist. What does the future hold for water in the US onshore unconventional plays?
-
A pair of innovative field development strategies are helping tame the wild, wild Permian Basin.
-
Geosteering is supposed to ensure the wellbore stays in the most-productive zone, but a recent study suggests it often misses the mark.
-
The produced water conundrum in the Permian Basin will be solved by a mix of recycling, disposal, and future breakthroughs in technology currently being studied.
