This update highlights efforts to electrify oil and gas assets and deliver clean energy to remote, underserved communities. But the big question remains: Can we really achieve net zero emissions by 2050? -
Over the past 75 years, drillers have gone from the Stone Age to the Space Age when it comes to technological improvements in well construction methods. Yesterday’s crude wood and iron drilling techniques have given way to today’s video game-inspired controls and robotic assistance—much of which migrated from offshore applications. These advancements have driven costs…
