Field/project development
LibertyStream has signed a feedstock agreement with Goodnight Midstream to support its first commercial lithium carbonate facility in North Dakota's Bakken, advancing plans to extract battery-grade lithium from produced water.
The loan to Arena Energy will generate an estimated 38,600 B/D in new production from 22 platforms in the Gulf.
TotalEnergies signed off for 30% operated stakes in the Lang Lebah and B14 gas fields offshore Sarawak on the sidelines of ADIPEC in Abu Dhabi, while also highlighting methane-reduction partnerships in Angola, India, and Southeast Asia.

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The authors write that by replacing outdated, labor-intensive processes with an integrated, cloud-based platform, companies can streamline planning, improve accuracy, and foster better coordination across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.
-
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.
-
The paper describes the revalidation of a deepwater prospect that resulted in a no-drill decision.
-
Saipem can begin early subsea engineering on ExxonMobil’s Longtail project in Guyana under a Limited Notice to Proceed, while the operator awaits final investment decision and government sign-off.
-
Three wind projects planned to produce around 300 MW have entered the execution phase under a partnership with OMV Petrom and RNV Infrastructure.
-
The Orange Basin and Gulf of Guinea will see most of the high-impact drilling activity planned this year in Africa.
