Winners of the 2016 SPE International Awards are announced. Recipients will be recognized during the Annual Awards Banquet at the SPE annual conference.

There are more than 100 accumulations in the southern North Sea that are flagged as stranded fields. One of these stranded tight gas fields, the Kew field, has been developed successfully with the use of a subsea well, horizontal drilling, and hydraulic fracturing.

A reason why projects are not completed on time is the disconnect between operators and contractors. An integrated asset approach tackles complex offshore jobs by being holistic and full field in nature and encompassing the planning, building, and operating phases of a project.

In an effort to foster collaboration in an area where there is currently very little, researchers at the University of Texas at Austin (UT) created a new web-based application for storing and sharing CT images of rocks.

A new techhnology aimed at treating produced water at the wellsite to near-drinking-water quality.

Low oil prices have taken a huge toll on exploration and production (E&P) activity, and the decline could lead to production shortfalls in the future.

A study done to find the root cause of coiled tubing string failures in Montney indicated microbial-induced corrosion, leading the CT service provider to create a biocide treatment program.

There are already many floating liquefied-natural-gas (LNG) receiving terminals operating successfully in the world. The economics of floating LNG (FLNG) is compelling. Major cost savings can be achieved by the streamlining allowed by FLNG processes.

Technology is improving continuously to help us with production optimization through new approaches, including downhole multiphase-flow measurement, wireless data gathering, wireless power-transfer methods, and new fluids technology.

In September, a technical workshop was held on the topic of injection-induced seismicity in Banff, Canada. It brought together industry and technical experts to discuss the increasingly important topic of induced seismicity associated with various injections during oil and gas activities.
