R&D/innovation
The Offshore Technology Conference has announced the 2025 Spotlight on New Technology Award winners—nine game-changing innovations shaping the future of offshore energy. Join the celebration at 1600 CDT on Monday, 5 May, at the NRG Center, Houston.
This article is the second in a Q&A series from the SPE Research and Development Technical Section focusing on emerging energy technologies. In this piece, Madhava Syamlal, CEO and founder of QubitSolve, discusses the present and future of quantum computing.
The Norwegian technology developer is working to strengthen the value case for wired pipe through an upcoming offshore campaign with Vår Energi.
-
As the saying goes, the future is now. This is certainly the case offshore Norway, which represents one of the industry’s most influential test beds for impactful innovation. -
Another technology developer is trying to convince oil companies that they really do need more power and downhole data while drilling.
-
New Testing Facility Built To Prove Whether Natural-Gas Foam Is Shale Sector's Next Fracturing FluidA 6-year R&D project concludes with the completion of a technology kit designed to study how combining highly pressurized natural gas and water could be a holistic alternative to traditional hydraulic fracturing.
-
Calgary-based Eavor Technologies has raised $40 million to build out geothermal systems that use horizontal-drilling technology and may someday give abandoned oil and gas fields a second act.
-
Is it possible to fracture a well using power off the grid? The answer is yes, but sharp electric engineers are required.
-
The cutting-edge technological developments in geothermal are devoted to drilling into deeper, hotter, and harder rock. Oil and gas expertise and know-how holds the key to cost reduction.
-
In a year defined by a historically harsh oil-price crash that rippled with collateral damage across the industry, the most-read JPT report of 2020 was about a well so different, it needed a new name.
-
A partnership between Saudi Aramco and Baker Hughes will build a plant where they will work to expand the uses of nonmetallic oilfield hardware, beginning with high-performance reinforced plastic pipe.
-
Electrically powered completions equipment takes another step toward greater sector adoption with the announcement of this new agreement.
-
The agreement will introduce rod couplings coated with nanolaminate technology with the goal of improving equipment reliability.
