Production
This paper proposes a novel, real-time pump failure prediction method using machine learning with scaled load ratio to accurately predict pump failures using only surface pump load data.
Five agreements target more than 11 Tcf of offshore gas and include flare-reduction technology.
Disputes over tanker fees and the ongoing military operation in Lebanon represent potential fault lines for the tentative peace deal.

The complete paper reviews the results of gas hydrate engineering and production testing studies associated with northern Canada and Alaska. -
About 16% of US offshore production in the Gulf of Mexico remains offline after Hurricane Laura caused mass evacuations more than a week ago.
-
The source of gummy, damaging polymer gunk that has flowed from Oklahoma oil wells is becoming clear, and one of the lessons learned is that shale plays require petroleum engineers to learn more about chemistry.
-
The featured papers and suggested further reading summarize the current SPE literature state of the art for H2S scavenger research and development and have been selected to give readers a broad indication from both academia and industry around the world.
-
This paper describes studies that confirm that enzyme-based, environmentally preferable chemistries can be used to break polymers and mitigate H2S in various systems.
-
Based on the early results from mass shut-ins of shale wells, it did not harm long-term production and it paid a short-term dividend with more oil flowing in the days after restarting.
-
Oil sands producers predicted they could reduce production by 300,000 B/D by turning down steam injection. This will test methods to reduce, rather than stop, injection to avoid the damage caused by rapid cooling in some wells.
-
The complete paper presents a solution that assesses tight matrices and natural fractures at a level not previously achieved. At the tight-matrix level, advanced nuclear spectroscopy is carried out with a new pulsed-neutron device that achieves simultaneous time- and energy-domain measurements.
-
For the seventh straight year, the regulatory body has found offshore operations continue to improve based on an efficiency model developed in partnership with the SPE.
-
Production of paraffinic crude presents challenges due to depressurization and cooling of crude oil during production.
