This paper presents results from a nondestructive core-strength-index tester that is less destructive than the Schmidt hammer and less intrusive, easier, faster, and less expensive than the core scratch tester.

Do you know where your wellbore is? The question is not rhetorical, but one the SPE Wellbore Positioning Technical Section (WPTS) strives to ensure that well operators can answer with high accuracy.

There is a lot of information buried in drilling reports written every day, but little of it appears in computer databases.

The development and implementation of a globally competitive technology is very important to Saudi Aramco.

In March, the SPE Board of Directors approved the publication of a technical report on the calculation of worst-case discharges (WCDs).

Tight reservoirs are still in the early stages of becoming a dominant source of energy and economic growth throughout the world for years to come. I recently read two distinctly different articles particularly relevant to tight reservoirs.

A multidisciplinary approach integrates fracture characteristics, reservoir production, and stress-field evolution to design and optimize the development of unconventional assets.

This paper sheds light on the nonlinear physics involved in the production of shale-gas reservoirs by improving the understanding of the complex relation between gas production, reservoir properties, and several treatment-design parameters.

SPE’s newly launched technical section will provide a central hub for questions, answers, discussion, collaboration, and networking around unmanned systems for the oil and gas industry.

A test-case study (Norne E-segment), based on field data of an offshore Norway brownfield, was organized to evaluate and compare mathematical methods for history matching and strategies for optimal production or enhanced oil recovery (EOR).
