Many good well-construction-technology papers came out last year, as well as a couple on older technologies that either had not been published earlier or had been released and were underappreciated.

In response to the need for emotional intelligence and soft skills, the SPE Soft Skills Council proposes a competency matrix as a tool to identify skills gaps at various stages of one's career.

This paper presents the results of a performance-improvement effort in extended-reach drilling (ERD) in three campaigns in the Huizhou HZ 25-4 oil field in the South China Sea.

All signs point to another bleak year for the oil and gas industry. Major operators have begun announcing significant capital spending cuts, and analysts see no quick fix to the current global supply/demand imbalance.

Global energy growth over the next 20 years is expected to be dominated by emerging economies, with primary energy use growing by nearly 40%.

This month I will share with you how SPE funds its programs and services and next month I will write about the work on strategy that your board has been working on

Talisman Energy needed to enhance its continuous downhole monitoring capability at the Gyda field offshore Norway with a system that could perform in high-temperature (HT) conditions and operate beside electric submersible pumps (ESPs) in two oil production wells.

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.
