With the latest addition, the Italian major’s computational capacity passes the exaflop threshold, making the firm the world’s leading company by computing power in the new TOP500 global ranking.
Output is rising fast in the South American shale play and putting Argentina on a course to soon reach 1 million B/D.
This guest editorial addresses the need for high-temperature directional drilling technologies as the number of rigs used to develop next-generation geothermal wells is set to rise in the coming years.
-
Formerly titled E&P Notes, this monthly snapshot of global E&P activity highlights ongoing developments worldwide. -
This paper establishes that the use of a dual-gradient fluid column during the running of large casing in an extreme-reach deepwater well is an effective method to overcome drag and enable the casing to reach total depth.
-
The authors write that by replacing outdated, labor-intensive processes with an integrated, cloud-based platform, companies can streamline planning, improve accuracy, and foster better coordination across teams and vendors.
-
The authors write that deployment of artificial-intelligence-based high-gas/oil ratio well-control technology enabled stabilization of well performance and maintenance of optimal production conditions.
-
This paper presents the first global application of autonomous drilling in deepwater and the journey to reach optimal drilling parameters, integrating proprietary tools from the project’s business partners.
-
In this paper, a case study is described in which a software solution enabled prescriptive optimization of well delivery using a physics-informed machine-learning approach for predictive identification and characterization of well-construction risks.
-
The paper describes the revalidation of a deepwater prospect that resulted in a no-drill decision.
-
This paper describes the integration of iterative torque/drag/buckling and hydraulic simulations for multiple tapered string combinations, the results of which guided the selection of a string configuration that deemed planned well total depths feasible.
-
The oilfield service company said its emissions reductions are thanks in part to the increased use of renewable energy and operation efficiencies.
-
The companies also agreed to collaborate on new AI models to unlock further insights from S&P Global Energy’s upstream data.
