Big projects are expected to add oil and gas to the energy mix in some regions while maturing basins contribute to drops in other areas.
Rystad Energy expects the continent to account for the largest share of frontier and basin-opening wells in 2026 as operators pursue scale and untapped resources.
The all-stock transaction will create one of the largest shale producers in the US, anchored by a major Delaware Basin position.

Two new studies from completions experts suggest the global upstream industry has a major opportunity in medium-quality reservoirs. -
Mentorship programs equip women with the tools to excel and help close the gender gap in leadership.

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.

In a deal described as possibly "one of the most important transactions BP has done in 20 years" by CEO Murray Auchincloss, the company has agreed contractual terms with the Iraqi government to invest in drilling and infrastructure to rehabilitate and boost production at the Kirkuk oil field.
