Production
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 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.

At peak, combined fields should produce more than 12,600 B/D of oil. -
This paper describes the findings of a root-cause analysis of wellhead-penetrator failures in Canadian steam-assisted gravity-drainage operations and the mitigation measures taken.

A review of the properties of iron compounds and their impact in shale produced water treatment with an emphasis on their colloidal forms. A wide range of problems is associated with these compounds in produced water including emulsion stabilization, oil-coated solids, pad formation in separators, pipeline solids, and plugging of water disposal formations.

New case studies from this year's Offshore Europe were a reminder of how sustaining subsea reservoirs as they age often calls for determined and innovative engineers.
-
The obsession with better hydraulic fracturing has steadily pushed on shale production in year one, but the decline remains steep. Chemistry could help explain, and perhaps extend, the short productive life of these wells.

SponsoredWellbore deformation can occur at any stage in the life of a well. Whether a result of changes in temperature, pressure or tectonic forces, wellbore deformation may result in serious downhole issues such as restricted access for interventions or the loss of well integrity that may ultimately lead to premature well abandonment and significantly reduced economic perform…

SponsoredExtended reach wells provide access to otherwise inaccessible areas, improve production and reduce footprint. Advancements in completion technology allow producers to eliminate coiled tubing, perforation guns and milling out operations to lower project risks, costs, and environmental impact.

This paper discusses the field implementation of a downhole chemical methodology that has positively affected overall productivity for a mature Kuwait field.
-
This paper presents a comprehensive comparison of two modeling-based approaches of fluid tracking for condensate allocation and gas usage.

The outcome of the authors’ experiments revealed that the tertiary injection of nanoparticles results in additional oil recovery beyond the limit of low-salinity water.
