As equipment advances to handle extreme pressures and temperatures, new Gulf opportunities are emerging—alongside increasing operator demands for standardized, scalable, faster, and more affordable solutions. -
Ultradeepwater prospects along the northern coast of Brazil could help offset decline in legacy basins, though permitting hurdles remain a wild card. -
This case study describes how edge computing and industrial internet of things platforms were deployed to automate and optimize production operations across four distinct basins. -
This case study presents a procedure in which the operator compared production from wells with adjusted wettability to a control group, finding that the adjustments resulted in significant improvements in production and reductions in produced water. -
The US federal government is working to stymie offshore wind power, but proponents aren’t going quietly. Armed with data, they are taking on a sea of misinformation and hostility to defend the burgeoning resource in the US, while the rest of the world moves ahead briskly. -
This case study from Erdos Miller outlines the use of magnetic short-hop technologies to complement the use of mud pulsers to transmit telemetry to surface.

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…
