This update highlights efforts to electrify oil and gas assets and deliver clean energy to remote, underserved communities. But the big question remains: Can we really achieve net zero emissions by 2050?

Oil and gas leaders identified the upcoming US presidential election and economic uncertainty as significant drivers of their decision making for 2025.

Drilling longer wells, increasing the number of fracture stages, and completing multiple zones in complex stacked reservoirs, along with optimizing multilateral wells with sand control to enable long laterals in stacked reservoirs, have emerged as key focuses of the industry.

Over the past 75 years, drillers have gone from the Stone Age to the Space Age when it comes to technological improvements in well construction methods. Yesterday’s crude wood and iron drilling techniques have given way to today’s video game-inspired controls and robotic assistance—much of which migrated from offshore applications. These advancements have driven costs…
