Production
North Sea operators produced an additional 16 million BOE from 56 reinstated wells in 2025 as improved intervention efficiency lowered costs and helped restore shut-in assets to production, according to the NSTA.
This contributed article highlights the growing importance of fiber-optic sensing and its potential to advance thanks to emerging quantum technologies.
The DOE-backed EGS-Twin project aims to simulate geothermal production systems, helping operators better predict performance and maximize output.
