Drilling
This study identifies critical knowledge gaps in wellbore integrity and underscores areas that require further investigation, providing insights into how wellbores must evolve to meet the technical demands of the energy transition.
This study illustrates the new capabilities, tailored for CO₂ storage applications, of a modeling framework that provides a quantitative, risk-based assessment of the long-term integrity of legacy plugged and abandoned wells.
Two critical facets of the discipline of well control and wellbore integrity—decarbonization and groundbreaking automation of essential processes—are highlighted in the three primary paper selections presented at SPE and SPE-affiliated conferences during the past year.

This paper highlights a tailored chemical treatment strategy developed for solids mitigation for a Delaware Basin operator. -
An automated detection application helped identify stringers early for an operator of a mature field in the North Sea while drilling multilateral wells through reservoir sections containing hard calcite stringers interspersed in sand formations with low unconfined compressive strength. The application guided drilling decisions that minimized invisible lost time and sh…

Industry experts from Fugro analyze what the future holds for offshore energy fields and how the industry can embrace and prepare itself for an autonomous and digital future.
-
The drilling of wells in shale and granite shares a common need—faster drilling is required to make it work.
-
A new report shows that the tight offshore rig market is even tighter than most estimates reflect. This offers relief to battered drilling contractors which are now demanding higher dayrates.
