Veros Systems is selling simplicity. The electric machine monitoring company promises accurate warnings of problems long before they occur, with a minimum of monitoring equipment to install.
-
Do you know where your wellbore is? The question is not rhetorical, but one the SPE Wellbore Positioning Technical Section (WPTS) strives to ensure that well operators can answer with high accuracy.
-
There is a lot of information buried in drilling reports written every day, but little of it appears in computer databases.
-
In March, the SPE Board of Directors approved the publication of a technical report on the calculation of worst-case discharges (WCDs).

For the past several years, automated drilling has promised to deliver major improvements in drilling performance. But the technology is facing new obstacles that might affect its progress and commercialization.
-
“The most powerful brands are created and maintained by delivering distinctive and consistent experiences to the market.”
-
For the past quarter of a century, underbalanced drilling (UBD) has been a niche technology known to many and practiced by few. It has seen acceptance in the North Sea, where UBD is used to drill through depleted reservoirs.
-
When it comes to fracturing, experts argue about many things, but they agree that fractures do not look like lightning bolts, tree roots, or shattered glass.
