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.

The project partners and the Newfoundland and Labrador government reach agreement over life-of-field benefits, royalties, and an equity option, moving development toward sanction in 2027. -
Operator started planning the development before it made its latest North Sea discovery.

The Middle East’s largest unconventional gas development officially begins production as Saudi Aramco targets 6 million BOE/D of gas and liquids capacity by 2030.
-
The integrated field management services contract signals an evolution of KBR’s role at Majnoon from one of stabilizing production to a more complex and sophisticated role that takes responsibility for integrating full upstream operations.

This paper reviews the simultaneous supercritical CO2/brine aquifer injection and water-alternating-gas methods for geologic carbon sequestration and proposes a novel integration with saltwater-disposal wells.
-
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…
