Drilling
The agreement focuses on improving operational efficiency and consistency through advanced digital tools and real-time data integration.
An innovative approach uses a random-forest-based framework to link logging-while-drilling and multifrequencey seismic data to enable dynamic updates to lithology parameter predictions, enhancing efficiency and robustness of geosteering applications.
Oil and gas companies drilled 75 “high-impact” wells in 2024, representing 5.2 billion BOE.

The field is estimated to hold 19 Tcf, of which 13 Tcf is recoverable, NIOC reported 14 October. -
Santos Energy said its second and final flow test from the Dorado field suggests potential flow rates of around 30,000 B/D from each Caley reservoir production well.

Measured-pressure approaches have offered much promise for some time but have been slow to reach widespread application. A spate of technical developments, deployments, trials, and applications, however, recently has pushed measured-pressure drilling and its nuanced variants to their full potential.
