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.

Rotary-steerable tools (RSTs) are now deemed mainstays in the drilling community.
-
Drillpipe doesn’t last forever, but a Houston-area startup company says it has developed a way to make it last significantly longer.
-
A new rotary-steerable system (RSS) was designed to give geometrically greater dogleg-severity (DLS) capability while still being able to withstand the increased bending stresses.
-
This paper explores the applications, benefits, and value of a high-build-rate rotary-steerable system (HRSS) capable of delivering dogleg severity (DLS) greater than 18°/100 ft.

Drillstring vibration is a leading cause of downhole-tool failure and premature wear of downhole equipment.
-
For nanotechnology-based drilling fluids, acceptance means proving they can outperform other drilling fluids. Initial results have been encouraging enough to move toward commercialization.
-
With shrinking budgets and limited resources, partnerships and collaboration are considered the best options. It is no secret that universities and industry have a special platform to work hand-in-hand.
-
Advances made in horizontal and complex-trajectory wells demonstrate that, despite this historic downturn, the industry has kept innovating and optimizing to bring more-efficient solutions to the table.
