This paper details a gravel packing operation in the Martin Linge field in the North Sea that marks the highest density carrier fluid openhole gravel pack completed successfully worldwide, setting a new standard for well completions in challenging high-pressure environments.

The supermajor will gain a 60% working interest and assume operatorship in the AREA OFF-1 block.

The company says it has used more than 30 AI tools to unlocked significant value across its full value chain.

The tie between US crude output and key indicators such as rig counts and the number of new wells has significantly weakened.

Artificial intelligence is increasingly being used to assist in the development of materials, including metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), to advance carbon capture technologies. Researchers assembled more than 120,000 new MOF candidates within 30 minutes.

Early adopters of large language models praise the technology’s promise to advance upstream research and software development while also offering cautionary notes.

This paper describes how near-real-time tracer data from the onsite tracer analysis enabled the operator of the Nova field to interactively optimize two well cleanups.

This work provides a new modeling tool, validated against a static-wellbore solver and field data, to estimate and manage downhole temperature in higher-temperature oil, gas, and geothermal wells.

This paper describes a case study in which, in the absence of a conventional production log, distributed fiber-optic sensing, in conjunction with shut-in temperature measurements, provided a viable method to derive inflow zonal distribution.

This paper discusses and evaluates retrofitting abandoned petroleum wells for geothermal applications as a commonly proposed solution to meet the challenge of the capital expenditure required for drilling and completion.

This paper presents an approach using artificial neural networks to predict the discharge pressure of electrical submersible pumps.

The authors integrated azimuths and intensities recorded by fiber optics and compared them with post-flowback production-allocation and interference testing to identify areas of conductive fractures and offset-well communication.
