Malampaya East discovery is estimated to hold 98 Bcf of gas and may help offset declines at the country’s only producing gas field.
For more than a century, LSU has shaped petroleum engineering education, but few assets showcase its impact like the PERTT Lab. With six deep test wells and rare reservoir-depth gas-injection capabilities, the facility is helping drive breakthroughs in well control, carbon-dioxide injection, and next-generation energy technologies.
This study identifies critical knowledge gaps in wellbore integrity and underscores areas that require further investigation, providing insights into how wellbores must evolve to meet the technical demands of the energy transition.
