Technology and partnerships remain important, while phased approaches may supplant lengthy appraisal programs, experts said during CERAWeek.
Analysts weigh near‑term risks for Middle East oil and gas producers after a tentative 2‑week ceasefire between the US‑Israeli coalition and Iran.
Conflict‑driven price gains may be offset by higher costs, supply‑chain risks, and a limited appetite for new drilling activity.

SponsoredUnwanted water production can erode well performance and asset economics if left unmanaged. Interwell’s precision water shutoff approach, grounded in diagnostics and engineered isolation, helps operators identify water-entry points, protect hydrocarbon flow, and restore sustainable well performance in mature and complex wells.

High-pressure/high-temperature (HP/HT) assets are returning to development plans as operators pursue deep gas and condensate while balancing operational efficiency of the projects with the risk. The recent paper submissions suggest a shift from single-component qualification to more-integrated, cross-functional operating systems for the high temperature and pressure r…
