Asset Management
Conflict‑driven price gains may be offset by higher costs, supply‑chain risks, and a limited appetite for new drilling activity.
The companies' combined technologies enable real-time control of well placement, hydraulics, and rig operations.
CERAWeek panelists see AI as a way to leverage data and people in interpreting data for exploration, but a cultural shift at companies may still be needed.

The operator plans to acquire seismic and carry out appraisal drilling at the site later this year; the find could be fast-tracked as a tieback to the Goliat FPSO. -
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 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.

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.

Geothermal systems, which rely on extracting heat from deep within the Earth, face many of the same technical challenges that oil and gas operators have tackled for decades. Geothermal development can be advanced efficiently and economically by applying proven oil and gas technologies.
-
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.
-
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.
-
This article kicks off a Q&A series from the SPE Research and Development Technical Section, focusing on emerging energy technologies. In this piece, Amy Bason of the Oil and Gas Climate Initiative highlights decarbonization efforts in global transportation.
