Telok is a gasfield development in the Malay basin offshore Terengganu, Malaysia. This paper discusses the program learnings and operational improvements captured while completing eight new wells in 2012 and 2013.

Numerical models have been used by the oil and gas industry for more than a decade to simulate the mechanical properties of rock, yet many universities only require undergraduate petroleum engineering students to take one or two geology classes.

A data-driven approach to successfully analyze and evaluate production-fluid impact during facility system divert events is presented. The work flow effectively identifies opportunities for prompt event mitigation and system optimization.

Many of us have been so busy chasing the next well and the upcoming job that our skills in the area of optimizing our completions may have become a little rusty. Now is a great time to knock off that rust and revisit our best-laid plans.

Failure to prioritize objectives and improper selection of candidate wells can have significant implications for both derived value and potential risk.

Data mining for production optimization in unconventional reservoirs brings together data from multiple sources with varying levels of aggregation, detail, and quality.

Each year, the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) confers its highest honors and awards on members whose outstanding contributions to SPE and the petroleum industry merit special recognition.

When times are challenging, a strong sense of survival and tendency to hunker down can cause us to lose opportunities by not engaging stakeholders.

More precise measurement can create a dilemma. One example is the precise fluid flow measurements used to control managed pressure drilling (MPD) systems.

The prospect of natural gas in a riser commonly summons up a vision of a deadly, fast-rising bubble exploding on to the floor of a drilling rig. But comments by consultants on an OTC panel argued that it is a poor description of how gas behaves in a deepwater riser.
