A deeper understanding of the roles of individuals in the innovation process is more important than ever as the organizations that make up the industry are being fundamentally transformed. Who are the “explorers” within the sector that are hardwired to deliver tomorrow’s bolder technologies? And who are the “exploiters” that prefer to stick with less‑ambitious innovat… -
Remote operations and automation have reshaped the drilling landscape in recent years, but this may be just the beginning. Find out here which big milestones may be coming up next for the drilling sector.
-
Recent studies have reignited the question of whether US oil and gas companies are ignoring the opportunity to refracture large swaths of maturing assets. -
Devon, Shell, and SM Energy offer some of their latest learnings from recent independent subsurface diagnostics projects. Their work underscores why this arena of technology has become a cornerstone for hydraulic-fracture design in tight-rock reservoirs.
-
This paper discusses the applications of carbon-capture processes in the steelmaking industry from an economic standpoint.
-
The paper investigates estimation of optimal design variables that maximize net present value for life-cycle production optimization during a single-well CO2 huff ‘n’ puff process in unconventional oil reservoirs.
-
Hitting the next well during fracturing happens all the time. Predictably doing that on a large scale in granite looks a lot harder.
-
NASA, the European Space Agency, and the British government are reconsidering an old idea to beam space-based solar energy to Earth in light of new technologies that might lead to commercial feasibility.
-
The drilling of wells in shale and granite shares a common need—faster drilling is required to make it work.
-
Back again with an all-virtual format, the 6th edition of the SPE Startup Village has opened for applications for its Energy Startup Competition to be held on 20–21 September.
-
A system that could help turn stranded-gas fields into producing projects has moved closer to reality, aided by the growing focus on reductions in carbon emissions.
-
Founded in 2008, GA Drilling is developing plasma-based tools to achieve drilling speeds that are about three times faster than what conventional bit technology has historically achieved.
