A 44-well development tests what ConocoPhillips has learned about maximizing the value of the wells by figuring out how they drain the reservoir. -
Jennifer L. Miskimins is the nominee for 2026 SPE President. She and six others make up the new slate of nominees recommended for positions open on the SPE International Board of Directors. -
The use of oil-based muds has precluded countless drill cuttings from being used to predict reservoir fluids despite once being part of the reservoir. A 6-decade-old technology may be on the cusp of changing that. -
To avoid costly interventions like sidetracking or wellbore abandonment, a check-valve system was installed near the sandface within three injector wells which prevented the mobilization of fines from the reservoir into the wellbore by stopping backflow.

After becoming one of the first US independents to go big on CCS less than 3 years ago, Houston-based Talos Energy is making its exit.
The developer of the recently emerged anchorbit technology is preparing to drill its first geothermal well next year in Germany.
The challenges that geothermal energy faces to become a leading player in the net-zero world are well within the areas of expertise of the SPE community, ranging from rapid technology implementation and learning-by-doing to assure competitiveness to establishing suitable funding mechanisms to secure access to capital.
The long, successful history of various metallurgies in EOR wells has been cited as sufficient to allow the same completions for CCS injection wells. The lack of actual data on the long-term performance of these alloys in EOR wells in combination with the more-stringent requirements for Class VI wells suggests otherwise.
