This paper illustrates a case study from a greenfield oil development in Sarawak that is planned for a fit-for-purpose development scope to create value and develop oil resources in a phased manner within 4 years of project framing.

The papers selected for this year’s feature collectively highlight the ongoing transformation of field-development planning across the oil and gas industry. A common theme among these papers is the integration of subsurface, drilling, facilities, and operational workflows into unified development frameworks.

This paper aims to optimize well trajectories in offshore reservoir development by applying a Pareto-based multiobjective approach.

This paper presents a reduced physics-based model that accelerates the ability to screen infill-location optimization, using the fast marching method to maximize production for a reservoir with multiple realizations.

Oil prices are high, but spending has not caught up—yet. Meanwhile, exploration strategies are changing around the world toward a lower-risk model, and the frenzied pace of US M&A has very much cooled off.

This energy roundup highlights major global developments, including Western Australia’s approval of Woodside’s Browse gas project, TotalEnergies’ FID for Cyprus’ first gas development, and new oil and gas discoveries offshore Colombia, Namibia, and Angola. Read the latest updates on LNG projects, exploration successes, seismic surveys, and strategic upstream investmen…

This guest editorial addresses the many capacities in which oil and gas technical professionals can play a role advancing the energy technologies of tomorrow.

This case study outlines a full-scale testing program focused on the behavior of thermal casing connections subjected to severe bending and low-cycle fatigue loading.

The world produces vast volumes of carbon dioxide, and CO₂-EOR is one of the best-established techniques for increasing oil production. Despite this, its use remains limited because of economic, logistical, and operational challenges.

With millions of wells having been drilled in the US since the beginning of the oil age, the land is pocked with old, unused wellbores. For most, repurposing is a pipe dream. Plugging is the best option.
