Risk management
The SPE Asset Management Technical Section (AMTS) is teaming up with the University of Houston to launch a pilot program that advances asset management practices and supports the growth of energy professionals worldwide—setting a model for future collaborations between universities and SPE technical sections.
The SPE Management Technical Section has been officially renamed the Asset Management Technical Section. The new name better reflects the section’s focus on asset management as a core discipline in the upstream oil and gas industry.
This paper describes a tool that complements predictive analytics by evaluating top health, safety, and environment risks and recommends risk-management-based assurance intervention.

Unconventional resources include coalbed methane, tight gas, and source-rock-based (often shale-based) reservoirs.
-
Many companies are seeking 20% to 50% reductions in project costs. This level of capital cost reduction requires serious rethinking of the strategy for developing and executing projects.
-
The process of risk and uncertainty reduction in unconventional-drilling operations starts with improving techniques for pore-pressure modeling.
