Voices From the Industry
New case studies highlight how artificial intelligence, advanced hardware, and innovative business models are enabling success in drilling automation.
The era of refracs as mere experiments is long gone; today, they’re a strategic necessity fueling portfolio growth.
Few things are more essential to the now global hydraulic fracturing revolution than access to fresh water, yet this dependency use has raised environmental concerns and operational challenges.
Guest Editorial: 2025 Perspective: Digital Transformation in Oil and Gas—From Evolution to Shockwave
The path forward is not just about automation—it is about augmentation. AI is not replacing human expertise; it is amplifying it. Those who master this balance will define the future of oil and gas in a rapidly evolving energy landscape.
Greenhouse gases are woven into every stage of a well’s life, which presents challenges that demand creative solutions that do not require too much capital.
The energy world is rapidly changing. The pressure to address climate change, ensure reliable energy supplies, and manage costs is greater than ever.
The world’s reliable engine of crude demand growth is stalling out, and its impact on the upstream market is already being felt.
Geothermal energy in the US has historically been concentrated in the West due to favorable geology, but emerging technologies have expanded the possibilities.
AI can transform our work, but it demands the highest accuracy. Anything less than perfect in oil and gas and other heavy-asset industries is unacceptable.
When it comes to staying on top of the latest upstream innovations, the easiest way to do it is already in front of you.

SponsoredAs operators strive to increase production under tighter budgets, traditional downhole diagnostics are falling short—too costly, complex, and time-consuming. Seismos Acoustic Friction Analysis (SAFA) offers a smarter, surface-based alternative. This white paper explores how SAFA enables real-time treatment optimization, better fracture performance, and substantial cos… -
SponsoredElectrical submersible pumps (ESPs) are the backbone of artificial lift operations, enabling the extraction of hydrocarbons from challenging reservoirs. However, their effectiveness is often compromised by the extreme downhole environment, characterized by soaring temperatures, high pressures, and exposure to aggressive fluids. -
SponsoredWhile WACC is frequently used as the base discount rate for corporate-level decision-making, using it as a universal discount rate for projects can result in inaccurate project valuations. Incorporating the opportunity cost of capital provides a more nuanced and accurate approach to project evaluation. -
SponsoredTesting new drilling technology in a controlled and monitored environment before it is launched to its full extent in the field—that is what the Rijswijk Center for Sustainable Geo-energy is all about.
