Opening day remarks from President Mohamed Irfaan Ali framed fossil fuels and renewables as parallel systems amid rising demand and structural supply pressures.
The UAE will prioritize national interests and production flexibility, setting up implications for OPEC’s market power, oil, prices, and global supply dynamics.
Talos Energy founder Tim Duncan has been named executive chairman of newly formed 1947 Oil&Gas, which will focus on acquiring and developing mature, shallow-water assets through its buyout of Renaissance Offshore. The deal is expected to close in Q2 2026.

The best wells in which to find lithium are in old conventional fields where rusty pump jacks are pulling out mostly water. -
The subsea field tied back to Grane is expected to produce 60,000 B/D at peak.
-
A drop in the number of wells drilled on the UK Continental Slope is concerning as many fields in the mature basin are reaching the point of production cessation.

Paper SPE 213089 describes an artificial lift selection tool for unconventional reservoirs driven by reduced-physics models. Paper SPE 213975 extols the value of gas lift downsizing by optimizing the selection and placement of Venturi, orifice, and dummy valves. And Paper SPE 214361 explains how electrical submersible pumps could become electrical submersible generato…
