The oilfield service giant has identified the nation's potential geothermal sweet spots after analyzing data from more than 7,000 wells.

This case study presents results achieved in Romania, Mexico, and Kuwait with the use of a series of innovations featuring integrated bottomhole assemblies. A push-the-bit system combines high-performance drilling with precise directional control.

At 50,000 ft, the well is about 800 ft longer than the previous record holder.

Opening additional channels of communication with our members provided important feedback to move forward with the Strategic Plan.

In this month’s Field Development feature, SPE conference authors place an emphasis not only on original research and findings but also on validation and refinement of existing techniques that may not have received thorough attention in the literature.

The papers highlighted in this month’s feature apply forward stratigraphic modeling to improve geological models, classical reservoir engineering techniques to understand interwell connectivity in order to optimize waterflooding operations, and exciting new fiber-optic technology to characterize the performance of individual hydraulic fractures in unconventionals.

Medhat M. Kamal will take office as 2023 SPE President during the 2022 SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition in October. He shares his views of the challenges facing our industry and SPE members, his outlook for our industry, and what his goals will be during his presidency.

A trio of oil projects gears up to boost throughput on the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System.

Data mining and modern data analysis techniques allow us to do a much better job in finding good field analogies where new approaches to well remediation and restimulation have proven to have a high probability of commercial success.
