Higher than normal oil prices during the past few years have led to a sharp rise in spending on upstream technology and innovation. The investment drivers are the need to extend the life of producing assets, improve operational efficiency, access new resources, and improve safety.

Over the past 200 years, since the days of the Industrial Revolution, we have experienced several waves of innovation, which have had a profound effect on our everyday lives.

The SPE Training and Member Programs departments took on the task of creating an intensive and industry-specific means to help spur the development of leadership abilities particularly of younger E&P professionals.

The authors present a method to reduce uncertainty in EOR performance adaptively while identifying an optimal operational strategy for a given tolerance to risk.

Historically, the marine systems on a spar are relatively simple.

Conventional miscible- or near-miscible-gasflood simulation often overestimates oil recovery, mostly because it does not capture a series of physical effects tending to limit interphase compositional exchanges.
