Blocked by sanctions from obtaining Western technology, Tehran has turned to its domestic service industry to expand production as Chinese demand reaches new highs.

The tie between US crude output and key indicators such as rig counts and the number of new wells has significantly weakened.

During the past 3 years, over half a million patents were granted for production monitoring. This progress has led to a shift toward integrated work flows, cloud-based platforms, resilient sensors, process simplification, and automation.

High-pressure/high-temperature (HP/HT) resources continue to be a focus of efforts to apply new technologies that maximize productivity while addressing concerns related to capital expenditure, operating expenses, and high drilling costs. These cost-effective technologies will only grow in importance in exploiting HP/HT and ultra-HP/HT fields.

Longtime leaders in artificial lift discuss and share their insights on the rapidly evolving segment’s past, present, and future.

SPE technical papers synopsized in each monthly issue of JPT are available for download for SPE members for 2 months. These February and March papers are available now.

Early adopters of large language models praise the technology’s promise to advance upstream research and software development while also offering cautionary notes.

This paper presents the mitigation of drilling challenges encountered in the Niger Delta through a technique that relates shale resistivity to shale porosity and vertical effective stress to predict pore pressure.

The authors integrated azimuths and intensities recorded by fiber optics and compared them with post-flowback production-allocation and interference testing to identify areas of conductive fractures and offset-well communication.

This paper discusses and evaluates retrofitting abandoned petroleum wells for geothermal applications as a commonly proposed solution to meet the challenge of the capital expenditure required for drilling and completion.
