The SPE International Awards honor members whose outstanding contributions to SPE and the petroleum industry merit special distinction. Recipients of the 2020 International Awards will be recognized during the Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition.

For the past 6 months, you have read, watched, and heard about adaptation in personal lives and businesses and many of you have experienced it firsthand to some degree—ranging from minor to life-changing events.

In the first half of 2020, Canada’s production declined 20% from its 2019 average of 5.5 million B/D as a result of low crude oil prices, reduced demand, and continued production curtailments imposed by the government of Alberta.

A US Supreme Court decision recognizing about half of Oklahoma as Native American reservation land has implications for oil and gas development and raises regulatory and tax questions that could take years to settle.

DTEK Oil & Gas this year will conduct a large-scale seismic survey using green technology on a gas-and-condensate field in Ukraine.

Russia’s Lukoil will sell its entire 40% interest in the Rufisque, Sangomar, and Sangomar Deep (RSSD) contract area to Edinburgh oil and gas producer Cairn Energy for up to $400 million.

Exploration and production independent CNOOC has produced first oil from its Luda 21-2/16-3 regional development in the Bohai Sea, offshore China.

Decline-curve analysis is one of the more widely used forms of data analysis that evaluates well behavior and forecasts production and reserves. This paper presents technologies that apply DCA methods to wells in an unbiased, systematic, intelligent, and automated fashion.

While the ongoing trends in data science and engineering analytics are going to show more benefits in lowering production costs and increasing efficiencies, the well-established reservoir and production engineering disciplines will continue to be critical for reservoir performance improvements.

The forces of low oil prices and new efficiency trends are converging to remake the US pressure-pumping business into one that can complete more wells with less horsepower than ever. However, that might also mean service provider margins remain low for much of this new decade.
