SPE event

The technical papers to be presented have been peer-selected to guide attendees in understanding and applying innovative and cost-effective technologies in all aspects of the industry throughout the life cycle of an asset.

Ali Al Jarwan, CEO of Dragon Oil, talked recently about how his company has survived the changes of 2020 and how he expects ATCE to reflect the resilience of companies to these changes.

The organizers of SPE Offshore Europe 2021 have announced that the show’s face-to-face event is moving to 1–4 February 2022 at P&J Live, Aberdeen, and the conference will be held virtually 7–10 September 2021.

A lot has been learned about shale, but those working to eke out oil from that ultratight rock still extract more value from data than physics.

An ATCE presentation outlined how staged field development can help make smaller oil discoveries commercial alongside existing engineering solutions.

An ATCE session focused on subsea and offshore subsurface applications with much wider implications. The discussion included the electrification of both facilities and subsurface systems, as well as more-extensive deployment of sensing and flow control from the surface to the reservoir.

The challenge is immense, but the promise is, too. If the oil and gas business can scale up CO2 EOR, then it can play a very big role in mitigating climate change while offering carbon-negative fuels.

In his first remarks as SPE President, Tom Blasingame announced that the theme of his tenure is “Survive, Revive, and Thrive.”

FLITE Material Sciences says that its unique lasering process can be used on just about any type of material to make it either repel or attract water and oil. For an industry that deals with a lot of both, the technology has many potential use cases.
