Drilling
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 presents laboratory-testing methods and evaluation criteria designed to improve understanding of both the origin and extent of formation damage associated with CO2 injection.
This work introduces an analytical model for nonisothermal CO2 injection that accounts for both Joule-Thomson cooling and interformation heat exchange.

Few locations present as many challenges for drilling as the Arctic. It is one of the most hostile environments in the world, with some of the most remote locations, the toughest logistics challenges, and the largest gaps in infrastructure on the planet. -
This paper describes the method developed to achieve underbalanced drillstem testing (DST) in a deepwater field offshore India.
-
Understanding of formation damage is a key theme in a waterflood project. An integrated multidisciplinary approach is required to determine an optimal design and strategy.
-
The paper describes a novel methodology to construct distributed formation damage across openhole wells in carbonate reservoirs and to evaluate the effects of damage on zonal productivity.
-
This paper summarizes a wide variety of sandstone-acid-stimulation case histories, highlighting aspects such as mechanical conditions and operational practices.
-
When the industry discusses subsea wells, the tophole construction gets scant attention. The Norwegian company NeoDrill believes it can create a more structurally stable foundation, greater efficiency, and reduced cost by using a conductor anchor node.
-
US drilling and completion companies that were slashing workforces and cannibalizing pumping trucks for parts 6 months ago are now hiring crews and repairing equipment to meet rising demand.
-
Drilling automation is one of the most promising emerging technologies that the oil and gas industry has to look forward to. The potential benefits span the spectrum from health and safety to lower costs and repeatable well results.
