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.

Brazil’s ANP extends BW Energy’s contract for the deepwater field from 2031 to 2042, and BW plans to further develop the field. -
The shallow-water subsea tieback to the Jupiter platform is expected to produce about 250 MMcf/D of gas at peak.

This paper describes an intelligent completion system in the context of multiple wells that, by electrifying the process, replaces the conventional electrohydraulic systems that have been in use for decades.
-
In this study, a deep-neural-network-based workflow with enhanced efficiency and scalability is developed for solving complex history-matching problems.
-
This study presents a production-optimization method that uses a deep-learning-based proxy model for the prediction of state variables and well outputs to solve nonlinearly constrained optimization with geological uncertainty.
-
Updates about global exploration and production activities and developments.
-
The paper describes a parameter inversion of reservoirs based on featured points, using a semi-iterative well-test-curve-matching approach that addresses problems of imbalanced inversion accuracy and efficiency.
