Drilling
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, CO₂ 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.

Nabors' RZR-equipped rig has successfully drilled multiple horizontal wells in the Permian Basin.
-
The Permian Basin operator said the purchase ‘checks all the boxes’ it looks for in an acquisition.
-
Seven facilities design and public engagement principles are identified as key elements for the future oil and natural gas production facilities for the DJ Basin, and maybe even as a guide for other North American onshore shale basins.

In this paper, β-cyclodextrin polymer microspheres, generally used for drug release and wastewater treatment, are evaluated as an environmentally friendly ultrahigh-temperature filtration reducer.
-
This paper describes the qualification and first deepwater drilling application of a novel aqueous reservoir drilling fluid at temperatures greater than 320°F.
-
Significant reserves additions may be realized if the risks associated with drilling in such harsh conditions can be managed effectively. Design and development of a new generation of drilling fluids able to fulfill all of the attributed functions under extreme pressure and temperature conditions is one of the key requirements for unlocking these resources.
