Oman is embarking on a renewed effort to deploy the latest hydraulic fracturing technologies and techniques, tailored to its unique reservoirs and challenges. -
Addressing the challenge of developing a mature basin with a data-driven approach to spacing and inventory decisions. -
From its origins running just a few light bulbs in Tuscany in 1904 to supporting baseloads on national power grids today, geothermal power generation has been driven by technological advancements. Many of these advancements stem from oil and gas exploration and production efforts. -
Monitoring on the ground is helping the industry shift from best estimates to hard data so it can bring the true emissions profile into focus. -
To overcome operational constraints tied to ball-and-seat valves, an operator tested a spring-loaded alternative downhole. -
Despite a 2.8% drop in liquefied natural gas exports in 2025 because of lost market share in China, Australia anticipates a 2026 rebound as new North West Shelf capacity comes online. Meanwhile, East Coast operators brace for a tsunami of wells entering the decommissioning pipeline and potential energy shortfalls necessitating LNG imports.

The Libra Consortium, led by Brazil’s Petrobras, has developed a method of separating carbon dioxide from reservoir fluids at the seafloor rather than the FPSO topsides.
-
Casing deformations are common in the south-west shale regions of China and the Middle East, where the widespread use of 5.5-in., 26- and 26.8-lb/ft casing is the norm. In these regions, the majority of frac plugs are designed with an outer diameter (OD) of 4.055 in. or slightly larger, which frequently encounter restrictions resulting in the loss of bottomhole assemb…
