Field/project development
While often associated with smaller discoveries, subsea tiebacks are playing a growing role in contributing to the broader energy mix.
AI‑driven data center growth is straining US power grids and accelerating interest in enhanced geothermal systems as a scalable, low‑carbon solution.
The following three papers show challenges and potential solutions across various stages of the deepwater well-development cycle from a variety of deepwater basins across the world.
-
The objective of this study is to numerically investigate system behavior when storing H2/natural gas (CH4) mixtures in aquifer-related underground gas storage, and the effect of gas composition and salinity on energy-recovery efficiency. -
In the past year, publications on CO2, natural gas, and hydrogen storage have increasingly focused on the design, evaluation, and optimization of storage plans. These efforts encompass a broad spectrum of challenges and innovations, including the expansion of storage reservoirs from depleted gas fields and saline aquifers to stratified carbonate formations and heavy-o…

In this paper, the authors review and draw lessons from the many firsts in the Teesside CO2 transportation and storage infrastructure project.
-
This paper describes modeling work performed to design fracturing treatment and spacing for wells in the Project Cape enhanced geothermal system in Utah.
-
The award comes as a contract release purchase order under a long-term agreement that simplifies ongoing efforts to maintain mature field production in Saudi Arabia.
-
The development is expected to add approximately 39 million BOE in recoverable resources to the Solveig field.
-
Suspended by force majeure since the spring of 2021, work on the Mozambique LNG project has restarted with over 4,000 workers now engaged onshore and offshore to meet a 2029 deadline for first LNG.
-
Shell CEO Wael Sawan said Nigeria’s improving investment climate is boosting its appeal for long-term oil and gas investment.
-
An earlier deal to double Israel’s gas exports to Egypt led to approval of Leviathan’s Phase 1B expansion by guaranteeing long-term cash flow to finance the project.
-
Marking a major milestone as the Gulf of Mexico’s second 20,000-psi deepwater development, the project underscores how advanced high-pressure technology, management of flow challenges, and the floating production system’s role as a regional hub are helping open the door to more Inboard Wilcox development.
