The newest recipient of the title SPE Legend of Hydraulic Fracturing talks about his career, the evolution of fracture stimulation, the development of increasingly useful simulators, and the future of the oil and gas industry. The honor was given at the 2026 SPE Hydraulic Fracturing Technology Conference and Exhibition. -
The operator developed a solution that has kept the well at stable production for over a year after treatment.
-
The rise in China’s gas production, now exceeding that of Qatar and of Australia, is also limiting growth in its LNG demand.
-
The project with ExxonMobil used closed-loop drilling and digital well-construction technologies.
-
Smart Seismic Solutions plans to use 50,000 nodes to examine storage potential for the Greenstore CCS project.
-
Latest 5-year assessment puts undiscovered technically recoverable gas resources on the US Outer Continental Shelf at 218 Tcf.
