After 5 years of in-depth diagnostic research, the Oklahoma City-based operator shares more insights on fracture behavior.
-
In the next 3 to 5 years, South America and the Middle East will lead global investment, driven by greenfield developments, exploration, and midstream infrastructure. Brazil’s growth is fueled by deepwater pre-salt projects, while the Middle East focuses on gas and LNG, especially in Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE.
-
An oversupply of LNG carriers is putting downward pressure on charter rates, pushing them to historic lows. Newbuild LNG carrier deliveries have been outpacing the construction and permitting of new liquefaction facilities needed to support them.
