Drilling
This guest editorial addresses the need for high-temperature directional drilling technologies as the number of rigs used to develop next-generation geothermal wells is set to rise in the coming years.
This study aims to systematically assess casing integrity and corrosion risks associated with CO2 injection in oil-recovery operations.
This paper presents findings reinforcing the argument that acid fracturing is a strong alternative stimulation method to improve productivity in the Austin Chalk formation.

This paper investigates the use of machine-learning techniques to forecast drilling-fluid gel strength. -
This paper aims to close some of the many knowledge gaps that exist in the field of drilling CO₂ storage wells, a task that is expected to involve handling an influx of CO₂ into the drilling fluid.
-
This year’s primary selections for the Drilling and Completion Fluids Technology Focus reflect now-well-established industrywide emphases on machine learning, automation, and the achievement of successful drilling of CO₂ storage wells.
-
A proposed integrated workflow aims to guide prediction and mitigating solutions to reduce casing-deformation risks and improve stimulation efficiency.

Driller expects $370 million, all-stock transaction to close in early 2025.
-
We’re thrilled to announce the launch of the 2025 SPE/JPT Drilling and Hydraulic Fracturing Technology Review. This exclusive, official publication will be distributed at three major SPE industry events.
-
A fundamental research study is conducted to confirm the potential usefulness of chelating agents in dispersing settled barite, emphasize the complex nature of the factors that control this process, and provide a solid basis for future studies aimed at optimizing dispersion methods in industrial applications.
-
The agreement formalizes JV ownership of Turnwell Industries which ADNOC Drilling created to manage a $1.7 billion unconventional drilling contract awarded in May.
