Machine learning has been shown to have a promising role in oil and gas explorations in recent years. Among the applications, determining a proper location for injection and production wells along with their optimal operating conditions is a complex problem.

SPE Journal is now accepting papers for a new special issue focused on lower-carbon prospects of petroleum engineering. Submissions are invited about novel research on petroleum engineering aspects of lower-carbon energy production, emphasizing subsurface technologies related to CCUS, geothermal energy, subsurface hydrogen, offshore energy facilities, and other lower-…

The new expanded SPE Journal resulting from the consolidation of SPE’s technical journals will provide SPE the opportunity to continue its mission of disseminating technical information across a global community while remaining open to new and expanding developments in all aspects of the oil and gas industry.

Starting in January 2024, SPE Journal, SPE Drilling & Completion, SPE Production & Operations, and SPE Reservoir Evaluation & Engineering will consolidate into a single journal, SPE Journal.

The December issue of the peer-reviewed SPE Journal includes a spotlight section on data analytics, presenting paper SPE 195698, “Prediction of Shale-Gas Production at Duvernay Formation Using Deep-Learning Algorithm.”

Six more will join the elite group of members who have attained the milestone of reviewing 100 papers.
