A key aspect of the project discussed in this paper is the use of minimal initial-production facilities to achieve significant early production from each of four preconstructed artificial islands.

This paper presents the development of Sapinhoá field, covering the fast-track transition and decision-making process, from appraisal to conceptual and basic engineering of the Sapinhoá pilot project and on to its subsequent execution, highlighting the challenges, lessons learned, and results.

As you may remember, SPE adopted a new Strategic Plan in March 2013. Since then, the Board committees and several Board-level work groups have been examining high-priority initiatives.

The opening of Mexico’s energy sector to private foreign investment continues to move forward, with more details of the landmark legislation expected soon.

Reciprocating rod lift has been a mainstay artificial lift method for onshore oil producing wells for nearly a century, helping to keep marginal wells producing for as long as economically possible.

Matrix acidizing is a method of stimulating carbonate reservoirs for oil and gas production.

As of 3 April 2014, the SPE Board of Directors approved the nomination of A. Daniel Hill, head of the Department of Petroleum Engineering at Texas A&M University, as its first SPE Director for Academia.

Under current conditions, onshore focus has shifted from fast-paced growth of tight hydrocarbon reservoirs to production enhancement from existing (but still profitable) wells, as well as to maximizing productivity from the smaller number of new well completions.

In organic shales, hydraulic fracturing is important for optimizing the production of horizontal wells. For a standalone lateral, the propped surface should be maximized to increase production. In the case of a pad, well spacing is an additional factor.

Colorado will become a testing ground for reducing emissions from oil and gas exploration and production (E&P).
