Measure What Matters, When It Matters: A Flow Measurement Perspective Across the Well Life Cycle

17 August 2026
Flow measurement touches almost every phase of oil and gas operations. Yet the industry still struggles to distinguish between what is directly measured, what is inferred, and what is estimated through models, correlations, or assumptions. That distinction matters. A measurement does not need to be perfect to be useful, but it must be fit for purpose.

Are Process Safety Standards and Practices Ready for the Energy Transition?

01 August 2026
The challenge is to ensure that changes to major accident hazards are properly managed, whether the changes occur by adapting conventional industry operations to lower carbon or by introducing innovative technologies.

Spanish Permits Reinforce Pyrenees as Natural Hydrogen Hotspot

10 July 2026
Spain has granted permits covering a swath of the mountain range to Mantle8 for natural hydrogen and helium exploration a month after France granted the company similar permits.

Methane Technical Section Q&A: One Atmosphere, Many Measurements—Reconciling Methane Signals Across Satellites and Sensors

06 July 2026
This article from the SPE Methane Technical Section features Arvind Ravikumar of the University of Texas at Austin and focuses on how the Energy Emissions Modeling and Data Lab is integrating satellite observations, facility-level measurements, operational data, and emissions inventories into more credible methane accounting for oil and gas systems.

Predictive Analytics Reduce Exploration Risks for High-Potential Geologic Hydrogen Discoveries

01 July 2026
This study applies Monte Carlo simulation and an XGBoost regression model to assess the influence of various formations, geologic provinces, tectonic-plate types, and boundary conditions on hydrogen concentrations.

TCP and Acidizing Operation Achieved Into Depleted Gas Reservoir for CCUS Project

01 June 2026
This paper presents a case study of oriented tubing-conveyed perforation followed by an acidizing operation to overcome technical challenges posed by a depleted reservoir targeted for a carbon capture, utilization, and storage project.
