Enverus projects 2026 activity aimed at gaining access to gas along the Gulf coast and disaggregation of assets.
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.
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.

This paper explores the evolving role of the digital petroleum engineer, examines the core technologies they use, assesses the challenges they face, and projects future industry trends.
-
This study illustrates the new capabilities, tailored for carbon-dioxide storage applications, of a modeling framework that provides a quantitative, risk-based assessment of the long-term integrity of legacy plugged and abandoned wells.
-
This paper describes an auto-adaptive workflow that leverages a complex interplay between machine learning, physics of fluid flow, and a gradient-free algorithm to enhance the solution of well-placement problems.
-
This paper addresses the difficulty in adjusting late-stage production in waterflooded reservoirs and proposes an integrated well-network-design mode for carbon-dioxide enhanced oil recovery and storage.
