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. -
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. -
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.
-
This case study outlines a methodology to optimize and control hydraulic fracturing parameters by achieving 100% cluster efficiency and overcoming formation leak-off. -
The road to a low-carbon world is paved with more than just shiny new facilities and the promise to deliver impressive CO₂ reductions from the atmosphere. Without the software to site, monitor, and maintain those facilities, the drive for net zero would be stuck in neutral.
-
What we’ve learned about faster drilling in oil and gas applied just as well to geothermal development—until we reached The Geysers.
-
Technology uptake aimed at optimizing resources, delivering consistency, and augmenting what humans can do.
-
New and evolving artificial lift technology is helping operators improve production rates.
-
Straddling Europe and Asia, the Black Sea is emerging as a frontier for deepwater gas exploration and production as Romania and Turkey drive projects complicated by subsea hazards found nowhere else on earth.
-
The Energy & Environmental Research Center in North Dakota outlines the difficulty that the oil and gas industry faces in pinpointing sources of H2S production.
-
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…
-
Shale Ingenuity’s first pilot used common natural gas liquids to boost daily output 30-fold from a low-producing horizontal well in Texas.
-
Maximizing profits in geothermal energy may require the flexibility to adjust output as electricity prices fluctuate. Battery storage can ensure power is available when prices peak.
