Chevron is having to drill a fifth production well at Israel’s Leviathan natural gas and gas-condensate field to keep production ahead of rising demand, driven by exports to Egypt’s growing LNG hub.

The impact of orphan wells, both on the environment and on tightening budgets, is a growing concern in the industry. Boom times result in a vast uptick in wells drilled. In bust times, when companies disappear, the liability outlook for these probes gets murky and federal and state governments start looking for answers.

In this new decade, the prevalence of integration is at the forefront of the scientific community. Every discipline, scientist, or company has a way in which they define the term “integration.” Regardless of how you define the effort that links disciplines quantitatively, the importance of constraining subsurface characterization to link it to production results and d…

Flow assurance in subsea oil and gas fields often presents significant challenges. Every field has its own combination of difficulties, and no universal process or system can be used to mitigate these. Detailed knowledge across a broad range of competencies, therefore, is required to find solutions that can minimize the risk of not getting the hydrocarbons safely to t…

One of the miracles over the past year has been the accumulated knowledge around the human genome and application of this science to the rapid development of efficacious vaccines. As within oil and gas, humans can rise to the challenge to solve complex problems when identified. This is playing out as we see societal drivers around climate change and net-zero carbon em…

Thanks to a resilient natural gas market, the US led all other nations in hydrocarbon production in terms of total energy output.

The oil and gas industry can benefit from the operational insights that IT/OT convergence provides. Predictive maintenance, in particular, helps improve safety and control costs.

Although quantum computing, or quantum processing, has still not become a reality in the oil and gas industry, it will prove disruptive according to an executive of a Brazilian player.

Find out which SPE members will be recognized during the 2021 Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition (ATCE) in Dubai in September.

An EU-backed wind foundation design project revealed that predictive digital twin technology can reduce the steel weight and associated costs of offshore foundations.
