Since the US arrested and removed Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro on 3 January 2026, all eyes have turned toward the country’s vast oil reserves, the largest of any country. From 2005 to 2024, oil production in Venezuela fell by 70%, from 3.1 million B/D to just 0.9 million B/D. The race is on to bring production back, but aging infrastructure and expatriation pre… -
As unconventional hydraulic fracturing matures, completions practices shift from art to engineering best practices.

This case study from Italian technology developer Sentris highlights the effectiveness of using sensors during pigging operations to optimize cleaning efficiency.
-
Experts and industry leaders gathered in The Woodlands, Texas, recently to sift through the challenges of carbon capture, utilization, and storage. The puzzle is coming together, but some critical pieces are still needed before the results look like the picture on the box.
-
Two examples from ONGC show how supervised AI-driven automation scaled well modeling across hundreds of offshore wells, saving more than 1,000 engineering hours.
-
Examples demonstrate how an Integrated Operations Center as a Service (IOCaaS) model, powered by artificial intelligence, reduced costs by 5% and increased production by 6% in Canada.
-
Findings from two new SPE papers argue that the tight-rock sector needs to rethink longstanding assumptions about how hydraulic fractures form underground.
