THE ISSUE
From exploration to EOR, oil and gas is a datadriven business. November's annual Oil & Gas
Computing reports examine the future of real-time
computing and data collection, and look at how
analytics and HPC are revolutionizing upstream
workflows. A special report on Finance & Logistics
opens with a review of the innovative private equity
structure that moved the massive Delta House
development project in the deepwater Gulf of
Mexico to first production in record time. The
MWD/LWD Technology reports reveal how
advanced quadrapole sonic leads to better reservoir imaging, while the
Marcellus/Utica Activity reports look at the soaring well productivities that
are driving Marcellus and Utica shale growth. Association news includes
coverage of PBPA, InOGA, AIPRO, NMOGA and NDPC conventions. Cover
design by Amanda DeMoss. Issue photography courtesy of LLOG Exploration
and CONSOL Energy, and by Robert D. Flaherty.
