The authors write that simple and straightforward observations on outcrops can be used to build 3D models that mimic geological relationships accurately.

This paper presents an integrated work flow to model mechanical properties at sufficiently high resolution to honor accurately rock fabric and its effects on height and complexity and, thus, production.

This paper presents experiences from an automated drilling-fluids-monitoring initiative and resulting real-time hydraulic measurements and models for automatic drilling control.

The difficulty in selling a chemical to aid subsea pipeline flow has been delivering it to the wells.

This paper presents the design and functionality of an apparatus that measures directly and automatically the pressure/volume/temperature (PVT) behavior of the drilling fluid contained in a pit.

In this study, the authors show that high-temperature, high-salinity polymers can exhibit low adsorption and retention in carbonate reservoir rock at ultrahigh salinity conditions.

In this paper, a complete safety-management approach and a contingency plan are developed for carbon dioxide waterless fracturing operations.

Insights from an ongoing industry study on North American shale wells help explain what frac hits, or fracture-driven interactions, are doing between offset wells, and why.

The Great Crew Change is all but over, Gen Xers are now managing Baby Boomers, and the oil and gas industry is morphing into the energy industry. Is this the end of an era or a new start for petroleum engineering education?

In the past decades, the success of unconventional hydrocarbon resource development can be attributed primarily to the improved understanding of fracture systems, including both hydraulically induced fractures and natural fracture networks. To tackle the fracture characterization problem, several recent papers have provided novel insight into fracture modeling techniq…
