The report was written by a steering committee of SMEs with industry input from an SPE summit as well as members from SPE online communities. It is based on discussions and conclusions from the summit and is intended to provide guidance on an industry-wide safety management data sharing program.

Larger-diameter coiled tubing recently has been used to perform millouts because of its improved set-down force and increased annular velocities for cleanout purposes. Service companies and operators have reduced the number of wiper trips when using larger-diameter CT, to save time and money.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) with 30% foam quality (FQ) has been introduced for the first time during acid fracturing treatments in a tight, sour, high-pressure/high-temperature carbonate gas reservoir in Saudi Arabia.

The development of unconventional resources, China’s increasing importance on the global energy map, and turning E&P challenges into opportunities were among the topics discussed at the IPTC

Global energy growth over the next 20 years is expected to be dominated by emerging economies, with primary energy use growing by nearly 40%.

This month I will share with you how SPE funds its programs and services and next month I will write about the work on strategy that your board has been working on

Talisman Energy needed to enhance its continuous downhole monitoring capability at the Gyda field offshore Norway with a system that could perform in high-temperature (HT) conditions and operate beside electric submersible pumps (ESPs) in two oil production wells.

As today’s deep wells challenge the bounds of pressure and temperature, accurate reservoir testing has become essential to mitigate production risk.

Investment in North American unconventional projects has increased sharply since the “shale revolution” began as operators look for ways to get into promising projects and walk away with expertise they can take back to potential shale development in their own countries.

The essence of most drilling operations in our industry is to open the maximum length of reservoir formation with the minimum damage to the rock surface.
