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.

The Orange Basin and Gulf of Guinea will see most of the high-impact drilling activity planned this year in Africa. -
ExxonMobil will retain its equity stakes in ongoing Bass Strait projects even as it hands off its operatorship responsibilities to Woodside Energy.

Thermal stimulation can accelerate the formation of shale creep barriers for long-term well integrity but only within a carefully controlled temperature window. This study identifies optimal thermal conditions for maximizing barrier performance while avoiding thermally induced shale damage.

Conflict‑driven price gains may be offset by higher costs, supply‑chain risks, and a limited appetite for new drilling activity.
