The complete paper holds that traditional facilities-planning methodologies, heavily based on design-basis documents and biased toward the most-conservative conditions, fail to recognize the entirety of operational conditions throughout the oilfield life cycle.

Understanding and prioritizing water management is key for exploration-and-production operators, not only in terms of reducing overall cost but also as a means of mitigating operational risk, complying with changing regulatory requirements, and addressing environmental concerns.

As part of a comprehensive water-management strategy, this paper describes different process and operational considerations that are the result of 109 years of production in Argentina’s oldest basin.

This paper discusses the field trials of a new salt-tolerant friction-reducer system in the Marcellus Shale.

Obstacles remain to keeping offshore development competitive with its onshore counterpart. Can the industry advance technology at a pace where the subsea segment will see a resurgence?

One of the largest presalt discoveries offshore Brazil has started producing oil. Libra field’s 1-year extended well test will provide technical data and cash for future development, which envisions three more FPSOs.

For 300 million years faults showed no activity, and then wastewater injections from oil and gas wells came along.

Advancements in extended-reach drilling continue from the ExxonMobil-operated Sakhalin-1 project. The latest “super complex” horizontal well stretches 15,000 m, which partner Rosneft says is a “world record.”

Oil and gas professionals may not consider solar power to be a serious threat, but it is poised to make serious inroads into the heating and cooling market.

The CEO of Houston Mechatronics told an Aramco Innovation Day audience that robotics is at the same point that the Internet and online communication were at in the mid-1990s and will soon become “the iconic technology of this century.”
