Data-driven, or top-down, modeling uses machine learning and data mining to develop reservoir models based on measurements, rather than solutions of governing equations.

Tiny bubbles, called nanobubbles, are the focal point of a new innovation aimed at transforming produced water from a costly byproduct into a valuable asset.

In upstream oil and gas, cloud computing is very immature because the industry has always been challenged by storage and computational capability. However, high-performance cloud computing may create an opportunity for smaller companies lacking infrastructure for scientific applications.

The low recovery rates observed in most shale reservoirs has prompted a number of research projects to develop new enhanced oil recovery methods.

Industry's finest minds are expected to come together for an idea summit during the upcoming SPE Intelligent Energy International Conference and Exhibition in Aberdeen.

Materials smaller than the width of a human hair are contributing to improved hydraulic fracturing and other areas of oil and gas technology.

An interview with Joe Leimkuhler of Shell and Greg Leveille of ConocoPhillips on unconventional resources development.

A brief introduction to the subject regions, highlighting some key differences with respect to other known basins as well as the size of the prize, is followed by a focus on fluid properties’ role in terms of field development and uncertainty reduction.

Wind power via floating turbines could be used to pump oil from remote offshore fields in the way windmills were once used to pump water from wells in arid West Texas.

The next couple of years for the oil and gas industry are likely to be defined by mediocre prices. “It is going to take a long time to get back to the good old days," said Atul Arya, senior vice president of IHS Energy, during OTC.
