Drilling
As Egypt’s largest oil and gas investor, Eni is ramping up its 2026–2027 drilling campaign with new investments cross the Mediterranean offshore, Nile Delta, Western Desert, and offshore Sinai to strengthen the country’s role as a regional gas and LNG export hub.
The deals, with a potential value exceeding $3.7 billion, are aimed at strengthening Saudi Aramco’s supply chains and expanding its use of industrial artificial intelligence.
Brownfield redevelopment and new exploration projects could lift Venezuelan output above 2 million B/D by next decade.

The combination of ultrasonic pulse-echo and flexural-attenuation measurements was adopted in this project in the South China Sea for cement-integrity evaluation. -
The first multilateral well in a North Kuwait field has been drilled recently.
-
Complex reservoirs in the Junín block of the Orinoco oil belt of eastern Venezuela offer challenges in achieving higher production rates and maximizing extraheavy-oil recovery.
-
The development of multilateral wells and long-reach wells has become important to maximizing recovery for many oil fields.
-
One approach to refracturing involves the use of mechanical diverters such as perforation balls and rock salts, which may be useful for one stage; however, cessation of pumping operations results in these diverters falling out of the perforations or dissolving.
-
An operator successfully executed two wireline through-tubing gas-shutoff (GSO) workovers in high-angle openhole-gravel-pack (OHGP) completions to isolate high-gas/oil-ratio (HGOR) zones, resulting in significantly increased oil production.
-
One of the defining features of the 21st century will undoubtedly be the changing relationship between humans and automated machines.

This paper describes the planning and execution of use of mud-cap fluid in the drilling of an ultranarrow-margin (0.50-lbm/gal window at the planning stage) high-pressure/high-temperature (HP/HT) well from a jackup rig.
-
The development of conventional reservoirs has typically involved minimal logging-while-drilling (LWD) technology, usually consisting of survey, gamma ray, and possibly resistivity tools.
-
Looking after the human factors in daily operations is good business because it increases employee safety and improves work performance.
