The advantages of merging the realms of information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) are obvious: cost reduction, improved capabilities, and greater efficiency. These advantages, however, come with a cost because they have affected the way that industrial control systems operate and have increased the exposure of industrial control systems to cyber risk…

Talks between the operators of a trio of competing projects remain active as Canada looks to cut emissions by 40% over the next decade.

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.

The authors of this paper describe a project that integrates carbonate stratigraphic forward models of outcropping formations and reservoir-modeling work flows.

This paper describes a novel distributed quasi-Newton derivative-free optimization method for reservoir-performance-optimization problems.

The complete paper builds on existing tools in the literature to quantify the effect of changing well spacing on well productivity for a given completion design, using a new, simple, intuitive empirical equation.
