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.

This paper offers insight into an integrated effort at combining analytical information, numerical well-test models, and geological evidence to explain the reservoir behavior observed in the Huntington field. -
For thin-oil-rim reservoirs, well placement, well type, well path, and the completion methods must be evaluated with close integration of key reservoir and production-engineering considerations.
