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.

The interpretation of well tests, combined with petrophysical analysis, formation-test data, and production logs, provided insight into Khuff reservoirs. -
The paper investigates the effect of complex environments on DFIT interpretation and presents a systematic method to analyze the data.
-
The complete paper uses 3,782 unconventional horizontal wells to analyze the effect of proppant volume and the length of the perforated lateral on short- and long-term well productivity across the Permian Basin.
-
In the complete paper, the authors present a novel approach that uses data-mining techniques on operations data of a complex mature oil field in the Gulf of Suez that is currently being waterflooded.
-
The average geothermal gradient in the subject deepwater field in Nigeria is 4.37°C/100 m, nearly twice the gradient in most fields. As a result, the magnitude of the expected annular pressure buildup (APB) during steady-state production is large enough to threaten well integrity.
-
The complete paper describes the first implementation of a solution to control fracture height for conventional wells in the Pannonian Basin.
-
The complete paper describes the first successful implementation of natural dumpflooding offshore Malaysia as a case study to provide insight into the value of using the approach to maximize oil recovery in a mature field, particularly in a low-margin business climate.
-
In this year’s papers on mature fields and well revitalization, I have found operators focusing on making all-out efforts to improve their ongoing waterflood operations to extend the life of existing wells, which is preferred over drilling new infill wells.
-
What is to become the largest shale producer in the Permian Basin is stepping up its efforts to curb emissions and has shared new details in its annual sustainability report.
-
The complete paper outlines some of the challenges involved in late-life field management and how Reserves assessment may be affected.
