Comprehensive formation evaluation is one of the technical focus areas that is fundamental across almost all upstream businesses.

This is the teaser

GE Staoil Open Innovation Challenge results in new proppant ideas.

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.

An integrated approach to sand management is crucial to address sanding risk in producers and injectors in a North Sea mature field.

For years, the oil and gas industry has used autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) for simple tasks such as underwater surveys and inspection.

Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin (UT) have set an audacious goal to halve the time, cost, and number of rig personnel required for drilling every type of well, from unconventional shale to ultradeepwater.

Chemical sand consolidation works by pumping chemicals downhole to strengthen the formation and stop sanding. In most cases reported in the industry, chemical consolidation has been used in short production intervals (less than 100 m).

There is a school of thought that the dramatic collapse in prices and oversupply of oil that has affected our industry, and has added to the challenges facing deep­water and mature developments, is a relatively recent phenomenon.

Anyone who has watched films such as Gasland and Promised Land is aware of the alleged dire consequences to groundwater resources from the petroleum industry’s decades-old practice of hydraulic fracturing of tight formations to release hydrocarbons.
