Field/project development
While discussions on the commercial terms for gas sales continue, the release of the jackup rig intended to drill production wells calls into question Shell’s plans for first gas in 2027.
As Egypt’s largest oil and gas investor, Eni is ramping up its 2026–2027 drilling campaign with new investments cross the Mediterranean offshore, Nile Delta, Western Desert, and offshore Sinai to strengthen the country’s role as a regional gas and LNG export hub.
This paper presents a case study from a mature field redevelopment project where pulsed neutron logging was integrated with advanced reservoir modeling to improve the understanding of fluid-contact dynamics and optimize new horizontal well placement.
-
This paper illustrates a case study from a greenfield oil development in Sarawak that is planned for a fit-for-purpose development scope to create value and develop oil resources in a phased manner within 4 years of project framing. -
The papers selected for this year’s feature collectively highlight the ongoing transformation of field-development planning across the oil and gas industry. A common theme among these papers is the integration of subsurface, drilling, facilities, and operational workflows into unified development frameworks.
-
This paper aims to optimize well trajectories in offshore reservoir development by applying a Pareto-based multiobjective approach.
-
This paper presents a reduced physics-based model that accelerates the ability to screen infill-location optimization, using the fast marching method to maximize production for a reservoir with multiple realizations.
