The London-headquartered independent acquires position in the US Gulf while preparing Zama for final investment decision.
This study identifies critical knowledge gaps in wellbore integrity and underscores areas that require further investigation, providing insights into how wellbores must evolve to meet the technical demands of the energy transition.
This study illustrates the new capabilities, tailored for CO₂ storage applications, of a modeling framework that provides a quantitative, risk-based assessment of the long-term integrity of legacy plugged and abandoned wells.

This paper demonstrates a work flow to determine optimal lateral lengths and trajectories in the Midland Basin by studying the effect of the lateral length and trajectory on well production. -
The union marks the first time an international company has taken a direct equity stake in one of ADNOC’s service companies. BHGE will expand its presence in UAE, while ADNOC will gain access to BHGE technological expertise and proprietary equipment.
-
A new detection and alerting methodology, validated on more than 100 North America onshore wells, blends well information and real-time data to determine a probabilistic belief system. An operator used the system to detect, predict, and alert rig crews to washouts and pump failures.
-
Despite a trend toward renewables and low-carbon energy production among European majors, Total remains wholeheartedly committed to deepwater production.
-
Predicting the trajectory of a satellite, or a well, requires sophisticated analysis to reduce the huge uncertainties. That adds to the many things drillers should be thinking about, which can be overwhelming.
-
There is no single reason that they all exist—and bringing them all on line will face challenges.
-
The benchmark comes as operator Eni solidifies concession agreements and ramps up exploration and development in the North African country.
-
Having blockchain on an oil rig means everyone on the job shares a view of a project from start to finish. This could facilitate innovations that cut costs, but organizational change is required.
-
This paper proposes a metric for quantifying drilling efficiency and drilling optimization that is computed by use of a Bayesian network.
-
Signs of maturity in drilling systems automation are evident in the success stories filtering out of technical conferences and in the attraction of top university talent to an annual, international, drilling-systems-automation contest.
