Drilling
Esgian analyst doesn’t expect tightening rig supply to drive a recovery until 2027.
Two new wells add 15,000 BOE/D of peak capacity to the London-based supermajor's North Sea production profile.
This paper expands the understanding of geopolymer/microsphere interactions and presents design considerations for alternative cementing materials under low-temperature regimes.

The hybrid power technology cuts fuel consumption and boosts the dynamically positioned rig’s station-keeping reliability, the drilling contractor says. -
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.
