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. -
The solvent-based technology involves a modular treatment process that uses a proprietary catalyst designed to safely and sustainably remove hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) from sour gas streams using either produced water or an alkaline water as the treating media.
-
A type curve is a quick way to answer a critical question—what does a typical well produce over time in a given place? -
The Unconventional Resources Technology Conference included discussions on emerging approaches to improving oil and gas recovery from tight rocks and exploring where the risks still lie with induced seismicity.
-
PipeFractionalFlow, a spinoff startup from the University of Texas at Austin, uses new theories and equations to make modeling complex multiphase flow more affordable. A model recently developed offers operators an “independent and unbiased” way to validate the system and select candidate wells.
-
This well-established oilfield consultancy explains why 2020 might be a big year for the unconventional sector.
-
ADNOC’s authority on technology maturity describes the case studies used to test the company’s new technology qualification process.
-
Software that offers turn-by-turn directions for drilling a horizontal well could drastically reduce the number of directional drillers.
-
Ocean waves are potential sources of energy that are powerful, often more readily available than wind and solar, and closer to population centers along coastlines.
-
In thermal enhanced oil recovery there is one big ingredient: steam. A new startup from Germany believes it has found the oil industry’s cheapest way to make it.
-
A Canadian research organization believes the country’s oilfield technology could help another energy sector drive down its costs and it may work out for heavy oil producers too.
-
Top US seismic experts say they are keeping a watchful eye on ground shaking in the state as new concerns are raised in neighboring Texas.
