A report commissioned by Havtil, the Norwegian Ocean Industry Authority, calls for better dialogue regarding pore-pressure uncertainty and higher-end drilling techniques like managed pressure drilling as methods to reduce the risk of well-control events.
The events will be co-located 3–5 May 2027 at Reliant Park in Houston, Texas.
Bridging the gap between foundational guidance and real-world application, SPE’s Oil and Gas Reserves Committee is advancing PRMS education with a new, peer-reviewed training initiative. This article highlights the evolution of the PRMS knowledge base and introduces the PRMS Training Master Slides—a modular, instructor-led framework designed to improve consistency, cl…

With an uncertain future spawning from the Brexit referendum, the British government is seeking to maintain as much consistency in its energy policy as possible. -
A new play in the Permian Basin is unconventional in an unexpected way: there is a small group of independents producing from a watery formation where oil production begins after they have pumped only water for weeks.
