Occupational diseases of employees can have a significant impact on workplace productivity and exact an unmeasurable emotional and financial toll on the workers and their families. It is important to design programs that will put the workplace on a journey toward prevention of diseases.

Adjusting to a new environment is part of the modern world of working. To sustain and build trust and harness personal and professional integrity, soft skills are vital.

A new report predicts that US output will rise to a new record high of 12.1 million B/D in 2020.

Unconventional development has made it clear to Erdal Ozkan that conventional theory overlooks a lot of potentially productive rock. He talks about looking for ways to do better as part of JPT’s tech director report.

Upstream oil and gas is well behind other industries when it comes to being digitally enabled. That said, there is an enormous amount of interest in and expectation around the benefits of digital solutions.

Expectations from data analytics in the upstream sector continue to evolve. Although the number and diversity of applications continue to increase, the adoption at the assetwide level faces well-known barriers and challenges.

Drilling systems automation requires a digital backbone. One segment of that backbone is the interval between the drill bit and the surface. Wired pipe removes both the bandwidth and latency barriers of the available measurement-while-drilling telemetry systems.

A drilling team has focused on increasing lateral lengths in the Marcellus Shale. The team determined which operational practices would need to be revised in order to drill and case laterals in excess of 18,000 ft.

In this paper, the application of a real-time T&D model is demonstrated. The process of T&D analysis was automated, and the time and cost required to run physical models offline was reduced or, in some cases, eliminated.

A joint-development project has delivered a high-temperature measurement-while-drilling/logging-while-drilling (MWD/LWD) suite rated for 200°C. Results to date are compared with previous performance in the Gulf of Thailand (GoT).
