Production
Acting director of the new center Ale Hakala outlines the research priorities guiding the newly established center’s focus on production enhancement technologies.
Opening day remarks from President Mohamed Irfaan Ali framed fossil fuels and renewables as parallel systems amid rising demand and structural supply pressures.
The UAE will prioritize national interests and production flexibility, setting up implications for OPEC’s market power, oil, prices, and global supply dynamics.

Mixed carbonate-/sulfide-scale problems have been reported when water is produced from carbonate reservoirs. This study presents interactions of lead sulfide and zinc sulfide coprecipitating with calcite. -
It was established that improving the reliability of the TH-connector system has a direct effect on the unintervened life of the ESP electrical system.
-
The new approach joins well performance from production-system analysis and true valve performance from the VPC database to form an integrated system performance tool.

This paper describes the use of a root-cause-failure-analysis (RCFA) process to improve artificial-lift-system performance in a project in Chad.
-
The digital repository of our valuable SPE papers was first launched as the SPE eLibrary in 1997 and subsequently was updated as OnePetro in 2007. This great collection has become a valuable resource for our global industry.

DuPont is ramping up the commercial-scale implementation of its microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) method after nearly a decade of development and testing of what it says is a low-risk way to improve production from mature fields.
-
After a year of field testing, a new type of biopolymer developed by Wintershall, Germany’s largest oil and gas producer, is showing promise as an effective enhanced oil recovery (EOR) tool in one of the country’s longest producing oil fields.
-
Linhua4-1 was China’s first tieback subsea development project. To develop this marginal oil field, a number of technical challenges were overcome through a series of new technologies, and their successful development and implementation.
-
As oil and gas fields are depleted, artificial lift systems are often required to maintain delivery volumes and to maximize recovery.
