With operators under pressure to deliver more energy with fewer resources, predictable drilling performance is more important than ever. Discover how a unified digital workflow can turn drilling data into better decisions and consistent execution—providing the foundation for autonomous drilling and more predictable, profitable, and productive wells at scale.
By acquiring 100% of Ventura’s outstanding shares, SED Energy Holdings would scale its business into a combined $1 billion company backed by a $1.3 billion contract backlog focused on deepwater drilling, shallow-water tender rigs, and seismic acquisition.
The US Department of Energy has awarded more than $99 million to 21 projects that will advance geothermal development through field-scale testing of next-generation technologies and exploration drilling programs across the US.

At SPE’s Permian Basin Energy Conference, operators shared behind-the-scenes details on innovations such as drilling horseshoe wells and trimulfrac completions along with in-basin challenges such as handling produced water. -
This paper analyzes the interaction of high-frequency torsional oscillations (HFTO) with lateral vibrations based on a model that accounts for the superimposed movement of whirl and HFTO at the bit.

The integration of the latest state-of-the-art technology in modeling and measurement of drilling dynamics and borehole quality has enhanced the understanding of bit, bottomhole assembly, and drillstring design. This can be seen in recent work on analysis of cutter-formation interaction, borehole-quality improvement, and modeling improvements.
