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.

Updates about global exploration and production activities and developments. -
This study highlights how the recovery and reuse of existing hydrocarbon infrastructure can contribute to the diffusion of district-heating projects that implement the principles of the circular economy.
-
Two new studies from completions experts suggest the global upstream industry has a major opportunity in medium-quality reservoirs.

Transitioning to a low-carbon economy demands large-scale CO2, natural gas, and hydrogen storage. In this context, the application of AI/ML technology to uncover geochemical, microbial, geomechanical, and hydraulic mechanisms related to storage and solve complicated history-matching and optimization problems, thereby enhancing storage efficiency, has been prominently …
-
This paper aims to investigate the use of an optimization workflow to maximize both hydrogen storage and the net present value to obtain an optimal reservoir development strategy.
-
This paper describes how ramp-up operations and commercialization of an underground storage asset were combined, rapidly providing a wide range of commercial services to the Italian gas system while long-term UGS performance increased continuously.
-
The authors introduce a novel framework combining dynamic mode decomposition, a data-driven model-reduction technique, with direct data assimilation to streamline the calibration of carbon-dioxide plume evolution models.
-
Today, the dependence on primary monitors is higher than ever, so much so that orchestrated efforts are underway to make these nearly foolproof. Often, direct measurements are supplemented with model predictions. Also notably visible are the efforts to integrate multiple perspectives of sustained production.
-
This paper outlines a technique to evaluate formation temperature shifts when closely spaced wells are produced concurrently and applies the technique to validate the design basis for new development.
-
Discovered in 2010, the Búzios field offshore Brazil achieved a new milestone with the installation of its sixth production facility.
