The transition away from materials that contain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), co-called forever chemicals, creates an opportunity to preserve historical information. Information that appears to have little operational value today may later become important when organizations need to evaluate past PFAS use. Once that information is lost, recreating it may…
US buyers are looking for extra shale inventory and added another $18 billion in purchases in October alone.
TotalEnergies signed off for 30% operated stakes in the Lang Lebah and B14 gas fields offshore Sarawak on the sidelines of ADIPEC in Abu Dhabi, while also highlighting methane-reduction partnerships in Angola, India, and Southeast Asia.

An automated detection application helped identify stringers early for an operator of a mature field in the North Sea while drilling multilateral wells through reservoir sections containing hard calcite stringers interspersed in sand formations with low unconfined compressive strength. The application guided drilling decisions that minimized invisible lost time and sh…
