Production
This article outlines observations regarding P&A design and analyzes what can be done better to strengthen safety, reliability, and sustainability.
Colorado has introduced new regulations requiring oil and gas operators to reuse at least 4% of produced water by 2026.
Part 2 in this series in hydrofracturing is intended to give early-career petroleum engineers a comprehensive and accessible look into modern fracturing practices.

There will always be a need for good artificial lift engineers. So, what should the next generation of its professionals be trying to pursue? -
Explore the impact managing natural damage phenomena, avoiding induced damage, and enhancing efficiency has on getting the most out of oil and gas assets.
-
Process design is adaptable and can be applied in many situations involving the flow of measurable components. Applying process design and documentation to the drilling and construction of wells facilitates understanding across various disciplines.
-
This article tracks the history of OPEC throughout its 60-year history, including major milestones in the oil and gas industry.
-
High oil prices will mean more spending on workovers to eke out more oil and gas from older wells. The amount will depend on finding those willing and able to do that tricky work.
-
With an eye to the future, Interface Fluidics is bringing nanotech to the oil field.
-
Wellbore tortuosity is a term that has steadily increased in relevance to the oil and gas industry over the past decade, but its importance is especially clear in the current environment.
-
The silver lining for those overseeing the unprecedented shut ins of tight-oil wells is the potential to acquire a wealth of reservoir data. But first, petroleum engineers need to monitor these wells and use the right analysis toolbox.
-
As tight-oil producers move to curtail production, hard-to-answer questions are being raised about how shuttered wells will come back. The issue reveals key uncertainties about the delicate flow paths that define unconventional reservoirs.
-
Production data from the oldest horizontal wells in the three largest oil plays in the US show that annual decline rates remain relatively high for a long period of time. This challenges assumptions held about production after 5 years and directly affects reserve and ultimate recovery estimates.
