Production
This article from the SPE Integrated Reservoir Management Technical Section (IRMTS) addresses decisions that look stronger than they are and take longer to implement than the reservoir can afford.
This work introduces an analytical model for nonisothermal CO2 injection that accounts for both Joule-Thomson cooling and interformation heat exchange.
This guest editorial examines how the most commonly used and cited methane emissions metric can create a misleading picture of upstream gas-handling performance for both the public and industry professionals.

A multidimensional Wiener process approach predicts casing remaining useful life, enabling safe, cost-effective well life extension and repurposing for carbon dioxide injection, CCS, and geothermal applications. -
SponsoredUnwanted water production can erode well performance and asset economics if left unmanaged. Interwell’s precision water shutoff approach, grounded in diagnostics and engineered isolation, helps operators identify water-entry points, protect hydrocarbon flow, and restore sustainable well performance in mature and complex wells.

Drone strikes, refinery shutdowns, tanker disruptions, and halted LNG production have heightened concerns about broader supply risks.

The Middle East’s largest unconventional gas development officially begins production as Saudi Aramco targets 6 million BOE/D of gas and liquids capacity by 2030.
-
High-pressure/high-temperature (HP/HT) assets are returning to development plans as operators pursue deep gas and condensate while balancing operational efficiency of the projects with the risk. The recent paper submissions suggest a shift from single-component qualification to more-integrated, cross-functional operating systems for the high temperature and pressure r…

This paper provides an account of the design, implementation, and operational insights from an enhanced geothermal system proppant stimulation targeting a volcanic, dry rock setting with an approximately 330°C bottomhole temperature.
-
This paper introduces an agentic artificial-intelligence framework designed for offshore production surveillance and intervention.
-
Addressing the challenge of developing a mature basin with a data-driven approach to spacing and inventory decisions.
-
Because of the influx of large data from production-monitoring systems, operators are getting creative in dealing with the vast amounts of data. In the process, they learn the state of their operations by extracting knowledge and taking advantage of the useful, newfound information to divulge new insights.
-
The tools to reduce flaring are well within reach, but the results will depend on a long-term commitment by operators and governments.
