Despite shallow-water, conventional areas being some of Mexico’s most promising plays for international operators in the short term, the economic factors surrounding them are “not robust,” even at higher oil prices.

It is inspiring to look back to 1909 when Howard Hughes Sr. and Walter Sharp introduced the roller-cone bit.

A Cold War technology invented to stealthily guide the United States Navy’s nuclear submarine fleet is now serving a much more peaceful purpose: aiding in the search for oil and gas deposits.

Moving to higher-capacity wellhead systems for high-pressure and high-temperature (HP/HT) environments will require a larger mandrel and conductor-casing size.

This paper identifies current development paradigms and discusses the future challenges in well planning, product development, and regulation.

The United States’ liquids-rich shale experience has been dominated by three major plays: the Eagle Ford Shale in south Texas, the Permian Basin in west Texas, and the Bakken Shale that straddles North Dakota and Montana.

The engineering, design, qualification, and implementation of drilling, completion, production, and intervention equipment for high-pressure/high-temperature (HP/HT) developments present significant challenges.

The Piceance basin in western Colorado is a long-term play expected to produce for another 20 years or more.

Approximately one-half of all offshore conventional oil and gas resources are known or thought to be undrillable with conventional, open-to-atmosphere circulating fluids systems for safety, economic, and/or technical reasons.

Tertiary oil recovery technologies can extend the economic life of maturing waterflooded reservoirs. This article describes the results from a biologically based EOR technology that has improved waterflood efficiency by increasing oil production and decreasing the decline rates.
