Production delivered by the subsea artificial lift system will equal that obtained by drilling two new wells, according to BP.
Thanks to stepout-well and tieback technologies, Shell’s Mars platform is the first single offshore platform in the US Gulf to produce 1 billion bbl of crude over its lifetime with production expected to continue into the 2040s.
The new guidelines were released prior to reports that enhanced geothermal developer Fervo Energy experienced a blowout in Utah with no reported injuries.

This study illustrates the new capabilities, tailored for carbon-dioxide storage applications, of a modeling framework that provides a quantitative, risk-based assessment of the long-term integrity of legacy plugged and abandoned wells. -
This paper addresses the difficulty in adjusting late-stage production in waterflooded reservoirs and proposes an integrated well-network-design mode for carbon-dioxide enhanced oil recovery and storage.

This article is the sixth and final Q&A in a series from the SPE Research and Development Technical Section focusing on emerging energy technologies. In this final edition, Matthew T. Balhoff, SPE, of The University of Texas at Austin shares his views on the future of upstream education.
-
This paper introduces a system that leverages sophisticated algorithms and user-friendly interfaces to tackle the challenge of developing complex, compartmentalized reservoirs effectively.
-
The authors of this paper apply a deep-learning model for multivariate forecasting of oil production and carbon-dioxide-sequestration efficiency across a range of water-alternating-gas scenarios using field data from six legacy carbon-dioxide enhanced-oil-recovery projects.
-
This paper assesses the technical feasibility of geological carbon storage in the operator’s Brazilian brownfields, focusing on mature oil fields and associated saline aquifers.
-
This paper describes an auto-adaptive workflow that leverages a complex interplay between machine learning, physics of fluid flow, and a gradient-free algorithm to enhance the solution of well-placement problems.
