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.
-
Over the next few years, water treatment technologies are expected to continue to be deployed in the basin, as drought drives aquifer levels to new lows.
-
How universities are investing in research and development to meet demand for new technologies in the search for hydrocarbons.

Demand for a better way to remove carbon dioxide (CO2) from natural gas led to the creation of a new material at Rice University in Houston that does something unprecedented on the molecular scale, and might even change gas processing.
-
Last year, lawmakers in the United States sent a blunt message to the oil business: If it wants new exploration and production technology, it will need to pick up more of the cost.
-
SPE’s 2014 Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition (ATCE) will be held at the Amsterdam RAI Exhibition and Convention Centre in Amsterdam, Netherlands, during 27–29 October. Since the first ATCE in 1924, this is the second time its venue will be in Europe.
