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.

The mood in the global oil and gas business is looking up, but the times are changing as reflected in this selection of some of the most-read JPT articles of the year.

Given the rapidly rising investments in robotics and drones, why is the SPE Unmanned Systems Technical Section struggling to find volunteers willing to form a new board and keep the rest of the Production and Facility Community up to date on the opportunities and challenges in applying these new tools in the field or at construction sites?
