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.
