DNV notes that energy and industrial process-related carbon emissions will have dropped by 2050 by only 44% from today’s level, not even halfway to the net-zero pledge envisioned by the Paris climate agreement.

Case studies from Devon Energy, ConocoPhillips, and others show how clever engineering and technology are being used to improve recovery and asset value.

Novel lift systems, AI-driven automation, and real-time engineering models are helping operators extract more value from mature wells.

This case study from Tomax outlines the use of artificial intelligence to analyze high-fidelity data of the full drilling process.

Speakers at ATCE said innovative technologies will play a critical role in balancing energy security, affordability, and sustainability in the years ahead.

The Houston-based developer of AI-powered submersible robotics earned the Best in Show Award and a $10,000 prize.

A credible custody-transfer record depends on far more than the accuracy of a single meter. It is the product of an integrated measurement chain. While meter performance supports measurement-system integrity, commercial confidence also depends on traceability, governance, and authorization.

The Seismos full-scale research center opens to industry, universities, and national laboratories, advancing acoustic sensing across upstream energy, pipelines, critical infrastructure, and national security.

The Society’s archive of technical papers, maps, figures, and geological data sets will be integrated into the GIX platform, enabling geoscientists to query AI agents about exploration opportunities within specific geographic regions while combining historical research with public data, proprietary information, and advanced analytics.

After years of market shocks, technological breakthroughs, and rising uncertainty, ATCE 2026 will provide new insights on how industry leaders and technical experts are preparing for the next era of the upstream business.
