SPE event

A pair of innovative field development strategies are helping tame the wild, wild Permian Basin.

Geosteering is supposed to ensure the wellbore stays in the most-productive zone, but a recent study suggests it often misses the mark.

Opening additional channels of communication with our members provided important feedback to move forward with the Strategic Plan.

The produced water conundrum in the Permian Basin will be solved by a mix of recycling, disposal, and future breakthroughs in technology currently being studied.

A summary of the committee’s activities was presented at the 2022 SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition.

The SPE Workshop “Impact of Digitalization on Drilling Operations” began on 29 November in Al-Khobar, Saudi Arabia, welcoming 316 attendees from 17 countries and 44 companies.

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.

In 2022, several events took place that required a pause to think about their effect on our Society. It is time to close the chapter on these events, recognizing the lessons learned from them, and move forward with the main activities of SPE to provide members with the technical and professional support that allows us to provide the world with the energy it needs.

The CO2 capture capacity of all CCS facilities under development increased 44% over the past 12 months, bringing the total capacity of those projects to 244 mtpa of CO2.

The 2-day conference features over 150 speakers from more than 30 countries.
