The 2026 Upstream Scale Guidelines establish a common workflow for field measurements, scale modeling, and risk assessment to support more consistent operational decisions.
Shell has reached FID on LNG Canada Phase 2, a major expansion that will double the Kitimat facility’s LNG export capacity to 28 mtpa and strengthen long-term supply to growing Asian markets.
The long-term outlook analysis says a potential shift toward new construction could push 2026 production 3% above 2025 levels.

As LNG projects sanctioned earlier this decade come onstream, a shortage of new final and pre-final investment decisions threatens to leave the project pipelines dry at a time when global LNG demand is forecast to surge over the next 15 years. -
This paper reviews best practices and learnings from floating-production-unit transportation and installation, hookup, and commissioning and discusses subsea flowlines, export pipelines, and subsea-equipment installations.
-
This paper addresses how close collaboration has enabled the development of a robust and cost-efficient solution for the Ormen Lange project by using carefully selected technology elements and an accelerated qualification process to mature them.
-
This study aims to use machine-learning techniques to predict well logs by analyzing mud-log and logging-while-drilling data.
-
This study presents the development of a novel modeling tool designed to predict condensate emulsions, focusing on key factors causing emulsions such as pH, solid content, asphaltene concentration, droplet size, and organic acids.
-
This study explores enhancing gas production through a novel combination of prestimulation using a coiled tubing unit and high-rate matrix acidizing.
-
This work introduces a fast, methodical approach to detect liquid loading using easily available field data while avoiding traditional assumptions and to determine critical gas rates directly from field data.
-
This paper discusses the journey of the Bonga North project, highlighting challenges and resolution strategies in a constantly changing deepwater environment.
-
Rystad Energy reports that developers are increasingly turning to floating LNG to reduce costs and accelerate project timelines in response to growing gas demand.
-
Almost all rigs, platforms, and vessels have some form of cellular mobile services, fiber, or even microwave transmission. Nevertheless, all these vessels and assets are equipped with satellite connectivity capabilities.
