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.
Even as output hits record highs, a growing recognition of the Permian’s maturity is opening the door for new technologies to improve performance.
-
Ranger acquires American Well Services for $90.5 million, adding 39 workover rigs and boosting its fleet by 25%. -
In this third work in a series, the authors conduct transfer-learning validation with a robust real-field data set for hydraulic fracturing design.
-
This paper describes development of a high-temperature water-based reservoir drill-in fluid using a novel synthetic polymer and customized with optimal chemical concentrations and sized calcium carbonate.
-
The aim of this study is to incorporate detailed geological, petrophysical, and hydraulic fracturing models to better predict and mitigate the effects of interbench interactions.
-
In this case study, a geomechanics-based approach was used to create bridging and sealing at the fracture aperture using a biparticle self-degradable lost-circulation-fluid system.
-
Outstanding papers over the past year have addressed topics such as casing deformation, well spacing, frac-design optimization, proppant transport in the well or in fractures, integrating diagnostics from field trials, and exploring the effects of lateral length on production.
-
The objective of this paper is to apply a developed workflow to determine the propped hydraulic fracture geometry in a horizontal multistage fractured well, incorporating production, pressure, and strain data.
-
Operators from across the region met in Muscat to share how lessons from pilot programs are shaping cost, scale, and technology priorities across the region.

SponsoredSince 1997, intelligent completions have transformed reservoir management, but adoption remains limited due to perceived complexity. The industry reached a pivotal moment with the development of next-generation technologies that address longstanding challenges and offer simpler operation solutions.
-
With artificial intelligence and online training both on the rise, it's crucial to ensure workers and companies treat safety as more than a box-checking exercise.
