Well intervention
This paper aims to establish a set of best practices for generating particle-size-distribution data from core samples.
This paper documents the testing, integration, and field deployment of a metal expandable packer used as an openhole toe isolation plug in a deepwater well under high-pressure, high-temperature conditions.
As the pace of new discoveries slows and high-quality prospects become harder to find, oil companies may need to rely more heavily on mature fields to maintain production and support future supply.

At the inaugural SPE/ICoTA Asia Pacific Well Intervention and P&A Conference and Exhibition in Kuala Lumpur, industry leaders highlighted how high-fidelity well data, real-time diagnostics, and predictive technologies are reshaping intervention planning and execution to improve well performance, reduce risk, and optimize late-life asset management. -
Superior seeks to expand its international footprint through the acquisition, which is reportedly valued at $1.2 billion.
-
Panelists at the SPE Subsea Well Intervention Symposium discussed where AI is delivering value today, where risks remain, and how engineers can best determine its usefulness.
