Superior seeks to expand its international footprint through the acquisition, which is reportedly valued at $1.2 billion.
This guest editorial addresses the many capacities in which oil and gas technical professionals can play a role advancing the energy technologies of tomorrow.
This article from the SPE Research and Development Technical Section offers new insights to how the upstream industry can benefit from the emergence of quantum computing.
-
Conflict‑driven price gains may be offset by higher costs, supply‑chain risks, and a limited appetite for new drilling activity. -
This paper describes an approach to creating a digital, interconnected workspace that aligns sensor data with operational context to place the completions engineer back into a central role.
-
This paper demonstrates how the integration of multiphysics downhole imaging with machine-learning techniques provides a significant advance in perforation-erosion analysis.
-
This paper presents a workflow that leverages a multiagent conversational system to integrate data, analytics, and domain expertise for improved completion strategies.
-
Findings from two new SPE papers argue that the tight-rock sector needs to rethink longstanding assumptions about how hydraulic fractures form underground.
-
The newest recipient of the title SPE Legend of Hydraulic Fracturing talks about his career, the evolution of fracture stimulation, the development of increasingly useful simulators, and the future of the oil and gas industry. The honor was given at the 2026 SPE Hydraulic Fracturing Technology Conference and Exhibition.

A multidimensional Wiener process approach predicts casing remaining useful life, enabling safe, cost-effective well life extension and repurposing for carbon dioxide injection, CCS, and geothermal applications.
-
SponsoredUnwanted water production can erode well performance and asset economics if left unmanaged. Interwell’s precision water shutoff approach, grounded in diagnostics and engineered isolation, helps operators identify water-entry points, protect hydrocarbon flow, and restore sustainable well performance in mature and complex wells.
