Petroleum engineering will be needed for decades to come to provide the required energy for the world and help alleviate the challenges of climate change. It will evolve into energy transition as it has been changing since its inception in modern history.
Find out which SPE members will be recognized during the 2021 Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition (ATCE) in Dubai in September.
When fracturing, simply shooting all the perforations at the same spot in the casing can offer increased production at a low cost.
These awards are designed to recognize those members who have contributed exceptional service and leadership to the Society, as well as those who have made major professional contributions to their technical disciplines at the regional level.
For the entities formerly—and, sometimes, still—known as oilfield service companies, the energy transition presents new business challenges and opportunities. How are they managing?
This study in a shale-oil formation quantified the hydraulic fracture propagation process and described the fracture geometry by developing a geomechanical forward model and a Green’s function-based inversion model for low-frequency distributed acoustic sensing data interpretation, substantially enhancing the value of the LF-DAS data in the process.
One of the major characteristics of petroleum data analytics is its incorporation of explainable artificial intelligence (XAI). Predictive models of petroleum data analytics are not represented through unexplainable black-box behavior. Predictive models of petroleum data analytics are reasonably explainable. This second part of a two-part series presents the use of XA…
A fast-moving pressure pulse is the priority of a research and development initiative that, if successful, will result in a new diagnostic technology for horizontal wells in tight reservoirs.

The impact of orphan wells, both on the environment and on tightening budgets, is a growing concern in the industry. Boom times result in a vast uptick in wells drilled. In bust times, when companies disappear, the liability outlook for these probes gets murky and federal and state governments start looking for answers. -
Advanced robotics is poised to make a big splash in the oil and gas industry, but when and just how big will it be? -
Extended-reach drilling is becoming more of a mainstream technology as the industry seeks to squeeze difficult reserves and reduce the footprint of projects in fragile environments. -
A wellbore repair tool was successfully deployed to rectify collapsed tubing in a remote well off the coast of Papua New Guinea.

As the COVID-19 pandemic subsides in most parts of the world, it is time for our ship to leave port. As we pull up our anchor, we must accept that there are risks out there, but we must get back to the task of exploration and production to improve lives, mitigate poverty, and provide the energy to enable a modern global society.
