Production
The 2026 Upstream Scale Guidelines establish a common workflow for field measurements, scale modeling, and risk assessment to support more consistent operational decisions.
The long-term outlook analysis says a potential shift toward new construction could push 2026 production 3% above 2025 levels.
Lower operating expenditures and a changing asset mix helped UKCS operators cut average production costs by 9% year over year, despite relatively flat production levels, according to the NSTA.

This article describes how Oxy developed an in-house application to handle critical production operations tasks including surveillance, optimization, downtime entry, and well testing. The application, called Nexus, allows well analysts and production engineers to manage twice the number of wells they were able to manage just 5 years ago.
