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…
Output is rising fast in the South American shale play and putting Argentina on a course to soon reach 1 million B/D.
This case study describes how edge computing and industrial internet of things platforms were deployed to automate and optimize production operations across four distinct basins.
