INEOS Energy and Shell have partnered to invest in Gulf of Mexico exploration, while Eni reported strong productivity from its Geliga 1 discovery in Indonesia. Santos is advancing its Agogo project in Papua New Guinea, and ConocoPhillips received approval to redevelop several previously producing oil fields in Norway’s Greater Ekofisk Area.
This paper details a new enhanced oil recovery method piloted successfully by several operators in the Bakken and recently implemented in the Midland play of the Permian Basin.
New insights from Chevron, Occidental Petroleum, and others at the SPE Improved Oil Recovery Conference highlight the different paths companies are using to squeeze more out of tight rocks.

This paper provides an account of the design, implementation, and operational insights from an enhanced geothermal system proppant stimulation targeting a volcanic, dry rock setting with an approximately 330°C bottomhole temperature. -
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.
-
This study evaluates the feasibility of drilling a closed-loop, unconventional geothermal system in the Pannonian Basin basement of Romania.
-
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.
-
Oman is embarking on a renewed effort to deploy the latest hydraulic fracturing technologies and techniques, tailored to its unique reservoirs and challenges.
-
Geothermal development is gaining steam and entering a transformative era, driven by breakthroughs in adapting and improving on engineering, drilling, completion, and production technologies to the efficient extraction of heat from the Earth.
-
Reaching further than dashboards and data lakes, the agentic oil field envisions artificial intelligence systems that reason, act, and optimize.
