Applications open on 15 November each year, and close on 15 April. By applying for this scholarship you are automatically considered for any SPE Scholarship or Fellowship that you meet the eligibility requirements for. You must submit at least one recommendation and documentation for entry exams (if applicable). U.S. law prohibits provision of certain services to individuals residing in embargoed countries; therefore, not all applicants may be eligible to participate in the Gus Archie Scholarship program. Gus Archie (1907 - 1978), a pioneer in the area of formation evaluation, developed the fundamental quantitative relationships among porosity, electrical resistivity, and hydrocarbon saturation of rocks that laid the foundation for modern log interpretation.

A recent study found that female mice exposed during prenatal development to chemicals used in unconventional oil and gas operations had abnormal mammary glands in adulthood. A professor, whom the EPA charged with reviewing its 2016 study on hydraulic fracturing’s possible effects on drinking water, shared her observations on the process that led to the agency’s final conclusion. On September 13, the Delaware River Basin Commission voted to begin the process to ban hydraulic fracturing near the river to protect the drinking water of 15 million people. A 7-year moratorium on natural gas development near the Delaware River would be replaced by a permanent ban under a proposal that’s being developed by the agency that oversees the water supply of more than 15 million people. The oil industry will be able to draw water from the Little Missouri State Scenic River for hydraulic fracturing after North Dakota officials lifted an 8-week-old moratorium on industrial water permits, raising concerns from some conservationists about the effect on the Badlands.

Lingering low oil prices are forcing Occidental to mark down the value of its oil and gas assets again, making the burden of its staggering debt look even greater. Houston-based Occidental had earmarked the money to ease debt from buying Anadarko. BP says it is firmly committed to achieving the ambitious target of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions over the next 30 years—even if that means producing less oil and gas. Layoffs have begun at Occidental Petroleum, which needs to slack costs after buying Anadarko, as well as Apache. Drilling change requires training drillers.

Fred Ng is general manager of engineering at Wild Well Control, Inc. He has over 30 years of worldwide experience in operational, technical and management responsibilities for major and independent operators in the petroleum industry. He served extensive assignments covering land and offshore drilling operations in the Gulf Coast, Alaska, Texas, Indonesia, Malaysia, China, New Zealand and Ghana. Fred is a mechanical engineer by training, and holds a BS (Honors first class) from University of New South Wales (Australia), and MS and PhD from Texas A&M. He has taught in mechanical as well as petroleum engineering at University of Houston.

Appomattox begins production below cost and ahead of schedule in another optimistic sign of the offshore sector’s rebound. Shell made its sixth discovery from the Norphlet formation in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico, where the firm’s newly arrived Appomattox platform just 13 miles away presents a tieback opportunity.

Jeff Spath has been named the head of the petroleum engineering department at Texas A&M University. Tests showing increased recoveries in the Bakken formation using CO2 could have significant implications for the upstream oil and gas industry.

SPE had total operating revenue of USD 84.1 million

The difficulty in applying traditional reservoir-simulation and -modeling techniques for unconventional-reservoir forecasting is often related to the systematic time variations in production-decline rates. This paper proposes a nonparametric statistical approach to resolve this difficulty. In this work, the authors perform automatic decline analysis on Marcellus Shale gas wells and predict ultimate recovery for each well.
