The sale of Woodside’s Calypso stake to BP completes the company’s withdrawal from Trinidad and Tobago after decades of operations in the country.
ExxonMobil’s Letter of Intent to begin preliminary engineering and procurement work for Mozambique’s Rovuma LNG project bridges the development to a final EPC contract, which Area 4 partners are expected to award following an FID anticipated by year-end 2026.
Beetaloo Energy and Halliburton have signed an MOU to advance Beetaloo Digital, a proposed gas-powered AI data center hub in Australia’s Northern Territory that could create a new long-term market for Beetaloo Basin gas.

This paper establishes that the use of a dual-gradient fluid column during the running of large casing in an extreme-reach deepwater well is an effective method to overcome drag and enable the casing to reach total depth. -
The authors write that by replacing outdated, labor-intensive processes with an integrated, cloud-based platform, companies can streamline planning, improve accuracy, and foster better coordination across teams and vendors.
-
The authors write that deployment of artificial-intelligence-based high-gas/oil ratio well-control technology enabled stabilization of well performance and maintenance of optimal production conditions.

This paper presents the first global application of autonomous drilling in deepwater and the journey to reach optimal drilling parameters, integrating proprietary tools from the project’s business partners.
-
In this paper, a case study is described in which a software solution enabled prescriptive optimization of well delivery using a physics-informed machine-learning approach for predictive identification and characterization of well-construction risks.
-
The paper describes the revalidation of a deepwater prospect that resulted in a no-drill decision.
-
This paper describes the integration of iterative torque/drag/buckling and hydraulic simulations for multiple tapered string combinations, the results of which guided the selection of a string configuration that deemed planned well total depths feasible.
