In offshore deepwater and extended-reach wells, placing and removing deep-set barriers is often challenging largely because of the distances and depths involved.

This paper provides an overview of an engineering-design methodology that can be followed for tubular-equipment sizing and selection for use in complex wells.

This paper will demonstrate the benefit of liner-drilling technology used to drill and cement an operator’s 9⅝- and 7-in. liners in place.

Results from a well recently drilled into an underpressured reservoir in southern Mexico.

The NORSOK standard focuses on the establishment of well barriers and well-barrier elements, and how these are accepted and monitored to prevent loss of well integrity that ultimately could lead to a loss in wellbore-fluid containment.

This paper presents an alternative approach to designing and executing matrix-stimulation treatments in multilayered carbonate reservoirs.

Hisham Saadawi takes office as the first technical director of the newly formed SPE Production and Facilities discipline. Having served twice as an SPE Distinguished Lecturer, Saadawi appreciates SPE's international diversity and aims to encourage more volunteering from all parts of the world.

Hydraulic fracturing has drawn intense interest inside and outside the industry, but far less attention has been given to what will happen in the decades of production to come.

Petrobras executives outlined major advancements in production that the company has made since first discovering pre-salt reservoirs and the subsea technologies it will use to develop them further.

The frontiers of deepwater and pre-salt reservoirs garnered much attention at the 2013 SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition (ATCE) held in New Orleans in October.
