Major increases in hydrocarbon production require both incremental and revolutionary technologies, industry leaders said during the SPE Hydraulic Fracturing Technology Conference.
From credit markets to grid constraints, the forces shaping energy today go far beyond price. Inside the inaugural E3S symposium, industry leaders, policymakers, economists, and students explored how technology, financing, permitting, and supply chain resilience are redefining what it takes to power the energy future.
The supermajors are seeking new US licenses to develop cross-border natural gas fields.

Fresh permit will allow the project to move forward towards FID this fall, first production expected in early 2029. -
SponsoredElectrical submersible pumps (ESPs) are the backbone of artificial lift operations, enabling the extraction of hydrocarbons from challenging reservoirs. However, their effectiveness is often compromised by the extreme downhole environment, characterized by soaring temperatures, high pressures, and exposure to aggressive fluids.

The Tiber FPU is expected to follow the Kaskida hub currently being built in Singapore.
-
Closed-loop geothermal systems have entered the new-energy arena to generate electricity using the underground as a heat exchanger.
-
Equinor will reduce investments in renewables over the next 2 years by 50% to $5 billion and will increase its focus on oil and gas production, expecting more than 10% growth from 2024 to 2027.
-
Upgraded sour-gas injection and a new third-generation processing plant are key to keeping supergiant Tengiz producing for years to come.
-
The new Sevan-designed cylindrical FPSO is expected to flow 45,000 BOE/D at peak.
-
The companies said they plan to work together on developing geopressured geothermal systems for low-carbon energy storage and geothermal power generation.
-
Industry leaders champion collaborative solutions as essential for overcoming fracturing limitations.
-
Analysts at Enverus Intelligence Research and Rystad Energy report that US shale consolidation has largely run its course.
