Over the past 6 months, I’ve talked about several emerging geographic and technology frontiers in the oil and gas industry. One of the most exciting and prolific emerging technology frontiers is also geographic in a way—the seafloor of deepwater basins around the world.

Governments and companies in the Middle East look to carbon capture and storage for reducing environmental impact and boosting oil production.

The oil and gas industry is flexing its muscles once again in the US Gulf of Mexico (GOM) with a surge of activity expected to support a robust level of deepwater development through the end of the decade.

A growing chorus of suppliers, researchers, and service companies is persuading US operators to re-examine their use of slickwater in shale plays and consider displacing it with carbon dioxide and nitrogen.

The 2016 SPE Legends of Artificial Lift are announced. Recipients will be honored at the 2016 SPE Artificial Lift Conference and Exhibition for North America to be held this month.

Extending the drilling season beyond the open water period in the Arctic is the primary driver behind a new jackup concept designed to operate in light ice conditions. The defining feature of the Arctic jackup is its telescopic leg that protects the drillstring from ice loads and is adjustable for depths down to approximately 50 m.

Although global crude oil production has declined in some regions since the collapse in oil prices began, and there have been massive cuts in company spending, world output has remained stubbornly resilient

The industry’s experience thus far drilling offshore the Arctic is a powerful argument to build a new generation of vessels and drilling rigs purpose built for operations in heavy ice.

Andrew Vaughan, Shell vice president for Abu Dhabi, Kuwait, and Syria, and country chairman for Abu Dhabi, discusses how his company is promoting technology and innovation in the Middle East.

As oil fields throughout the world are reaching maturity and requiring the use of secondary and tertiary recovery techniques, oil companies are looking for new processes and technologies to extract more oil from these aging fields.
