New Solutions in Fluid Sampling
High-quality samples enable the asset team to determine pressure-volume–temperature properties such as density, formation volume factor, viscosity, interfacial tension, gas/oil ratio, or compressibility; generate relative permeability relationships; or assess enhanced oil recovery strategies. Technology has improved sampling by making it faster, more accurate, and cost-effective.

New Frontiers in Directional Drilling
Operating companies can optimize hydrocarbon production and recovery only by drilling wells in the best field locations. In the past, drilling was as much an art as a science. In many cases, drilling operations relied on personal skill and judgment—key decisions were made with only a limited understanding of the subsurface. Today, drilling engineers can call upon a wealth of information and advanced techniques that eliminate much of the guesswork.
