Known as Arena, the collaboration aims to improve decision-making across increasingly complex reservoirs and growing volumes of subsurface data.
Robotic and autonomous systems are transforming energy operations, but their full value emerges only when paired with data science, engineering analytics, and AI/ML to turn data into decisions. The transition of the SPE Robotic & Autonomous Systems Technical Section into the SPE Data Science & Engineering Analytics Technical Section helps bridge this critical technolo…
Trafigura will purchase 100,000 metric tons of battery-grade lithium products under a decade-long take-or-pay contract valued at over $2 billion.

The supermajor expects output to double to about 600,000 B/D as a result of a new agreement with one of its joint ventures in Venezuela. -
Brownfield redevelopment and new exploration projects could lift Venezuelan output above 2 million B/D by next decade.

Oil prices are high, but spending has not caught up—yet. Meanwhile, exploration strategies are changing around the world toward a lower-risk model, and the frenzied pace of US M&A has very much cooled off.
-
This energy roundup highlights major global developments, including Western Australia’s approval of Woodside’s Browse gas project, TotalEnergies’ FID for Cyprus’ first gas development, and new oil and gas discoveries offshore Colombia, Namibia, and Angola. Read the latest updates on LNG projects, exploration successes, seismic surveys, and strategic upstream investmen…

This guest editorial addresses the many capacities in which oil and gas technical professionals can play a role advancing the energy technologies of tomorrow.
-
This case study outlines a full-scale testing program focused on the behavior of thermal casing connections subjected to severe bending and low-cycle fatigue loading.
-
With millions of wells having been drilled in the US since the beginning of the oil age, the land is pocked with old, unused wellbores. For most, repurposing is a pipe dream. Plugging is the best option.
-
The world produces vast volumes of carbon dioxide, and CO₂-EOR is one of the best-established techniques for increasing oil production. Despite this, its use remains limited because of economic, logistical, and operational challenges.
-
This paper presents a case study from a mature field redevelopment project where pulsed neutron logging was integrated with advanced reservoir modeling to improve the understanding of fluid-contact dynamics and optimize new horizontal well placement.
-
This paper illustrates a case study from a greenfield oil development in Sarawak that is planned for a fit-for-purpose development scope to create value and develop oil resources in a phased manner within 4 years of project framing.
