The authors of this paper write that the use of high-angle wells through anisotropic shale formations represents a promising approach to improving oil recovery while reducing the overall number of wells required.

The meeting of leaders, experts, and stakeholders emphasized the urgency of addressing greenhouse-gas emissions to mitigate climate change and align with global sustainability goals.

Extended-reach drilling (ERD) and complex wells have emerged as pivotal techniques, enabling access to previously unreachable reserves. ERD allows operators to access oil and gas reservoirs far from the drilling site, minimizing the environmental footprint and optimizing resource recovery.

This paper highlights the continuous improvement of multilateral technology used in the Middle East by demonstrating how the application of a multilateral well strategy is a proven and reliable method to reduce time-intensive operations.

Cementing and zonal isolation remains an important topic to operators and service providers alike. Additionally, an increase in the number of papers with both academic and field-driven content shows that there is no lack of initiative for operators to materially improve on existing methods and technology.

This comprehensive review of stuck pipe prediction methods focuses on data frequency, approach to variable selection, types of predictive models, interpretability, and performance assessment with the aim of providing improved guidelines for prediction that can be extended to other drilling abnormalities, such as lost circulation and drilling dysfunctions.

The EIA issued a new forecast for US oil production as a result of US President Donald Trump’s recently announced tariffs.

The operator’s deepwater discovery in the Gulf of Mexico is potentially commercial, and government analysis indicates the gulf holds 1.3 billion BOE more reserves than estimated.

Commercial diver Chris Lemons will speak at this year’s conference for an exclusive keynote recounting one of the most extraordinary survival stories in the history of offshore operations.

This paper addresses the deployment of an external protective coating with a rough surface profile in wells identified as susceptible to common cementing issues.
