Drilling
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.

This paper describes an 18-month intensive continuous improvement process between an operator, a rig contractor, and bottomhole-assembly (BHA) service providers aimed at reducing BHAs per well in two Oklahoma rigs. -
This paper discusses a full-scale drilling test rig that allows comprehensive study of the influences of bit characteristics on high-frequency torsional oscillations (HFTO) for the first time.

Few oil and gas companies give data science projects the better part of a decade to prove out, but that’s just what this one did.
-
An estimated $35 billion in investment is expected to pour into geothermal projects in Kenya and Ethiopia through 2050.
-
This paper presents the concept of a supervisory and advisory system dedicated to support the detection of abnormal events and to provide guidelines for fluid treatment.
-
This paper describes the success of using a new low-equivalent-circulating-density organophilic clay-free inverted emulsion fluid in gas reservoirs at elevated temperatures and with differential pressures up to 4,500 psi.
-
This paper describes a systematic full-scale test program to study and optimize solids-control efficiency with hollow-glass-beads drilling fluids.
-
At every stage, well-construction projects must be concerned about those aspects to establish measurable barriers for preventing issues. Therefore, drilling and completion fluids are critical for achieving project goals and ensuring operations are executed as planned.
-
Standard Lithium says the latest drilling project indicates an increasing trend of lithium concentrations in the Texas portion of the Smackover formation.
