As today’s deep wells challenge the bounds of pressure and temperature, accurate reservoir testing has become essential to mitigate production risk.

Investment in North American unconventional projects has increased sharply since the “shale revolution” began as operators look for ways to get into promising projects and walk away with expertise they can take back to potential shale development in their own countries.

The essence of most drilling operations in our industry is to open the maximum length of reservoir formation with the minimum damage to the rock surface.

This month, SPE will launch a new web- and app-based publication focusing on the health, safety, security, environment, and social responsibility (HSSE-SR) discipline.

This article highlights key knowledge that was shared at the SPE’s “Collision Avoidance and Well Interceptions Applied Technology Workshop” held in Inverness, United Kingdom, in September.

In unconventional resource plays and fields with structural or stratigraphic complexities, reliable geosteering of horizontal laterals is essential to economic success.

Defining the reservoir by its porosity, permeability, fluid content, water saturation, and behavior is one of the predrilling goals of exploration and production teams, with the aim of optimizing reservoir production over the life of the field.

David Monk said Apache Corp. uses wireless seismic receivers when it cites advantages over traditional systems connected together by cables.

Exciting hydrocarbon discoveries of mind-bending quantities are being made in the far reaches of our solar system and our own Milky Way galaxy.

An increase in local gas consumption in the UAE has caused Abu Dhabi National Oil Company to turn to development of the emirate’s sour gas fields, one of the most challenging types of fields.
