Shallow-water offshore production began before 1900 and continues to be important. Technology to maximize economic production from shallow-water fields can be adapted from onshore or deepwater technologies.

This paper discusses the use of clamp-on sonar flowmeters to minimize losses associated with well testing and to gain the subsequent benefits seen with respect to production optimization and well deliquefication.

SPE welcomes 128 members into the Legion of Honor, which celebrates 50 years of consecutive membership in the Society.

In the past decade, analytics in the oil field has grown to be a major discipline, integrally supporting the application of many different types of production chemicals and becoming viewed by some as a technology differentiator.

The increasing diversity of oil and gas resources presents technical challenges for customers and, at the same time, opportunities for oilfield services companies.

How universities are investing in research and development to meet demand for new technologies in the search for hydrocarbons.

There is no doubt that North Sea activity, both its highs and lows, has been the benchmark of quality and efficiency for many decades.

Saudi Aramco says its Manifa field is an example of how it is combining its technology and innovation capabilities to develop one of the most challenging megaprojects in the history of the company.

It has been an impressive comeback for a technology that once stood on the brink of failure. The upstream oil and gas industry has largely resolved crippling technical challenges that shortened the life of fiber-optic cables in downhole applications and is now working on a big encore.

Downhole fiber-optic systems work by using a small laser that fires off a pulse of light through hair-thin cables made of silica glass.
