Production
After launching pre-salt production in Brazil, the ultradeepwater Tupi asset has become one of Petrobras’s most productive.
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.
