Updates about global exploration and production activities and developments.

This paper explains that the discovery of specific pressure trends, combined with an unconventional approach for analyzing gas compositional data, enables the detection and prediction of paraffin deposition at pad level and in the gathering system.

Outstanding papers over the past year have addressed topics such as casing deformation, well spacing, frac-design optimization, proppant transport in the well or in fractures, integrating diagnostics from field trials, and exploring the effects of lateral length on production.

Adaptability, collaboration, and digital technologies are all pages in Aramco’s oilfield R&D playbook.

This paper presents an approach to subsea hydrate-risk management based on the understanding that some crudes have induction properties that delay hydrate formation even when the pressure and temperature conditions reach the hydrate thermodynamic region.

One major challenge for drilling-fluid engineers is the design and management of optimal drilling-fluid formulations in emerging frontiers—fractured formations and high-pressure geothermal environments. Recently, operators have leveraged cutting-edge technology such as machine learning and expanded data-driven techniques to facilitate the development of new drilling-f…

The advancement of flow-assurance technology can be characterized as a transition from reactive to proactive, from laboratory-scale examination to field applicability, and from data-driven to big data and physics integration.

Our industry’s reputation won’t be rebuilt through campaigns—it will be rebuilt through conversation. This column explores how the “20/60/20 Rule” can guide us to focus on the majority who simply want to understand what we do and why facts alone aren’t enough to change minds.

Operators from across the region met in Muscat to share how lessons from pilot programs are shaping cost, scale, and technology priorities across the region.

A collaboration between a large independent and a technology developer used low-cost interventions to optimize production from unconventional wells.
