Major increases in hydrocarbon production require both incremental and revolutionary technologies, industry leaders said during the SPE Hydraulic Fracturing Technology Conference.

This paper presents a multifaceted approach leveraging precise rig control, physics models, and machine-learning techniques to deliver consistently high performance in a scalable manner for sliding.

This guest editorial explores the rise of agentic AI and its potential effect on oil and gas professionals.

This paper proposes a novel approach toward drilling maximum-reservoir-contact wells by integrating automated drilling and geosteering software to control the downhole bottomhole assembly, thereby minimizing the need for human intervention.

This paper presents an automated workflow deployed for scheduling and validating steady-state production-well tests across more than 2,300 wells in the Permian Basin.

This paper offers an exploration into the field applications of multiphase flowmeters (MPFMs) across global contexts and the lessons learned from implementation in a smart oil field that uses several types of MPFM.

For more than a century, LSU has shaped petroleum engineering education, but few assets showcase its impact like the PERTT Lab. With six deep test wells and rare reservoir-depth gas-injection capabilities, the facility is helping drive breakthroughs in well control, carbon-dioxide injection, and next-generation energy technologies.

The Norwegian major said it is using artificial intelligence for predictive maintenance throughout its facilities and for interpretation of seismic data from the Norwegian continental shelf.

This paper describes a data-driven well-management strategy that optimizes condensate recovery while preserving well productivity.

This paper explores the evolving role of the digital petroleum engineer, examines the core technologies they use, assesses the challenges they face, and projects future industry trends.
