This paper provides a more straightforward method for estimating stress-dependent permeability and capillary pressure in rock fractures.

In hydraulic fracturing, the use of diagnostic-fracture-injection tests (DFITs) can provide valuable information.

The process of drilling a borehole is very complex, involving surface and downhole drilling systems that interact with the drilling fluid and the surrounding rocks.

The Fast Drill Process has become a well-known work flow to identify hole-making limiters and mitigate them through redesign to the economic limit of performance.

One of the interesting developments in the last few years is an emerging understanding of the need to develop the communication infrastructure for a drilling operation.

The drilling-systems-automation roadmap (DSA-R) initiative is a cross-industry effort launched in June 2013 to help accelerate the adoption of advancements in drilling-systems automation (DSA) for both onshore and offshore wells.

Well integrity and well barriers have been part of the exploitation for oil and gas for nearly a century, with the introduction of the blowout preventer (BOP) in the 1920s.

Many business and digital corporations claim that between 100 billion and 200 billion devices could be connected by 2020.

The SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition (ATCE) is not only an ­annual gathering for members but has also been a platform for the technology breakthroughs as well as discussions of the ups and downs of the oil industry through the years.

Under current market constraints, many operators and service com­panies are trying to determine how to efficiently and cost-effectively refracture declining and/or underperforming shale wells.
