Field/project development
Saipem has launched offshore operations in Suriname, while Repsol is expanding exploration efforts in Venezuela and partnering with MOL Group and TPAO in the Mediterranean. Petronas, Shell, and Murphy Oil reported new discoveries in Suriname, Namibia, and Côte d’Ivoire, respectively, as Occidental acquired a stake offshore Trinidad and Tobago and BP began gas producti…
The next wave of unconventional growth will likely come from basins in Argentina, the Middle East, Australia, and elsewhere, fueled by expertise gained from shale plays in North America.
The $5.1 billion ultradeepwater project is Angola’s first integrated cross-block development and sits at the top of Azule’s Southern African portfolio.

SponsoredThe data that comes with mapping flow behavior at the stage level of unconventional wells was once accessible only through the installation of costly and intrusive diagnostic methodologies like fiber optic or running production logging. New-generation FloTrac ultrahigh-resolution nanoparticle tracer technology with subatomic spectroscopic measurement techniques now de… -
The authors of this paper analyze a robust, well-distributed parent/child well data set using a combination of available empirical data and numerical simulation outputs to develop a predictive machine-learning model.
