We all know that things have changed significantly for offshore drilling and completion in the last 3 years. Regulations have been reviewed, and operational procedures and requirements have changed.

Reservoir simulation is essential in the decision-making process for the development and management of petroleum reservoirs. A simulation model can predict the reservoir behavior under various operating conditions.

High-pressure/high-temperature (HP/HT) operations are projected to double in well count over the next 6 years. In addition to this steady increase in activity, the conditions in these extreme wells will also become more severe as well depths, pressures, and temperatures also trend higher.

The deepwater Gulf of Mexico is a technically and economically challenging production environment. High rates and ultimate recoveries are required per well to offset high development costs.

Part 2 of this two-part series presents a new methodology for sizing and rating three-phase separators based on quantifying the actual mechanisms and physics that govern separation performance. An example illustrates the calculations needed to achieve the specified outlet fluid qualities.

Russia’s need to continue expanding the oil and gas business is pushing it to look east for more production and markets. But everywhere it turns there is stiff competition in a world awash in oil and gas.

An industry expert said that workforce education will be critical to helping companies adapt to a changing data landscape and optimize their operations.

Shale explorers in Argentina are reporting that improving performance and activity is set to rise this year to boost the country’s gas production.

Three experts from different sectors discussed the challenge of methane and regulation at the first panel session of the 2017 SPE Health, Safety, Security, Environment, and Social Responsibility Conference–North America in New Orleans.

Optimizing laterals by integrating data from many sources to address reservoir variability and structural challenges can increase shale well productivity.
