Drilling
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.
The London-headquartered independent acquires position in the US Gulf while preparing Zama for final investment decision.

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. -
This study illustrates the new capabilities, tailored for CO₂ storage applications, of a modeling framework that provides a quantitative, risk-based assessment of the long-term integrity of legacy plugged and abandoned wells.
-
Two critical facets of the discipline of well control and wellbore integrity—decarbonization and groundbreaking automation of essential processes—are highlighted in the three primary paper selections presented at SPE and SPE-affiliated conferences during the past year.
-
The Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas’ fourth-quarter energy survey shows that oil prices and geopolitical uncertainty are curbing enthusiasm heading into the new year.
-
A field test study examines micro turbine drilling in a clay formation that allows steel casing and formation to be drilled in a single operation.

The discovery in the Kutei Basin offshore Indonesia is being considered for fast-track development.
-
The Gorgon Phase 3 project aims to counter declining reservoir pressure to sustain gas supplies to Western Australia’s domestic market and support LNG exports to Asia.
-
The capability of modern wellbore surveying to increase asset value through improved subsurface modeling and completion-equipment placement is being overlooked by managers of operating companies.
-
This paper presents a study of trapped-torque incidents during drillpipe connection, highlighting contributing factors and root causes and proposing prevention and mitigation measures for these transient events.
-
In this study, a method was developed to analyze the effects of drilling through transitions on bit-cutting structures and construct an ideal drilling strategy using a detailed drilling model.
