Drilling
The firm's first-quarter rankings evaluate drilling performance across multiple measures, including total drilled measured depth.
After acquiring the block more than a decade ago, Petrobras has finally found oil in the deepwater area of the Equatorial Margin with the Morpho-1 exploration well.
More than 900 drilling and well professionals from 30+ countries gathered at APDT 2026 in Bali to explore how AI, automation, and advanced well technologies are driving safer, smarter, and more efficient drilling across Asia Pacific.

The Eagle Ford shale in Zavala County, Texas, is similar to many high-carbonate-content oil-shale formations. -
To maintain zonal isolation throughout the life of a high-pressure/high-temperature (HP/HT) well, the cement sheath must perform reliably at temperatures that can exceed 315°C.
-
The Granite Wash formation presents several challenges in drilling the build section from a vertical open hole to form a lateral.
-
As operators continue to drill into deeper and more-extreme formations, the demand for technologies suited to these environments increases.
-
With exploration in harsh environments and consequent high-pressure and high-temperature conditions, calculating reservoir properties has become complex and changes in pressure-transient response need to be understood and appreciated by taking appropriate measures.
-
FPWD provided a direct pressure measurement while drilling to set the lower boundary, and formation-integrity tests (FITs) with MPD provided the upper boundary.
-
We all know that things have changed significantly for offshore drilling and completion in the last 3 years. Regulations have been reviewed, and operational procedures and requirements have changed.
-
A brief primer on managed pressure drilling (MPD) and how it compares with underbalanced drilling (UBD).
