The emerging vision is an industry where engineers focus on judgment, risk assessments, and accountability.

This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of autonomous scale-management strategies implemented in the Buzios Field that eliminate the need for a well-service stimulation vessel by using existing facilities onboard the well rig.

In Asia, Valeura Energy and PTTEP advanced a Gulf of Thailand gas project, while Murphy Oil and Seadrill moved forward with projects in Vietnam, Indonesia, and Malaysia. In the Americas, Perenco, Petrobras, and Equinor advanced projects in Brazil, Canada, and elsewhere. Other developments included updates from Equinor, Serica Energy, BW Energy, and Sharjah National Oi…

This work introduces a novel predictive methodology combining historical metocean data with real-time riser analysis for shallow water dynamically positioned rig operations.

New agreements for exploration and production in Africa include activity in the Orange Basin offshore Namibia, offshore Angola, Senegal, and Côte d’Ivoire. In the Gulf of Mexico, a memorandum of understanding for deepwater evaluation was signed between Woodside Energy and PEMEX and Viridien initiated its Walker Ridge Reimaging Extension. TotalEnergies provided a targe…

By acquiring 100% of Ventura’s outstanding shares, SED Energy Holdings would scale its business into a combined $1 billion company backed by a $1.3 billion contract backlog focused on deepwater drilling, shallow-water tender rigs, and seismic acquisition.

This energy roundup highlights major global developments, including Western Australia’s approval of Woodside’s Browse gas project, TotalEnergies’ FID for Cyprus’ first gas development, and new oil and gas discoveries offshore Colombia, Namibia, and Angola. Read the latest updates on LNG projects, exploration successes, seismic surveys, and strategic upstream investmen…

The world produces vast volumes of carbon dioxide, and CO₂-EOR is one of the best-established techniques for increasing oil production. Despite this, its use remains limited because of economic, logistical, and operational challenges.

This paper aims to optimize well trajectories in offshore reservoir development by applying a Pareto-based multiobjective approach.

This work applies fuzzy logic, a well-established artificial-intelligence technique, to quantitatively assess connectivity between injectors and producers in a giant presalt field in the Santos Basin of Brazil.
