An asset swap with PDVSA helps consolidate the supermajor’s heavy-oil operations in the country.
Co-owner Chevron confirmed the find at the Bandit prospect offshore Louisiana and suggested it may become a subsea tieback to existing faciltiies operated by Occidental Petroleum.
The multiyear contract with YPF includes electric pumping units and automated stimulation services.

This paper demonstrates how the integration of multiphysics downhole imaging with machine-learning techniques provides a significant advance in perforation-erosion analysis. -
This study integrates laboratory testing with reservoir simulation to evaluate the effectiveness of autonomous inflow-control valves in managing late-life steam-assisted gravity-drainage production challenges.
-
Steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) technology continues to advance rapidly, driven by improvements in numerical simulation, inflow-control technologies, fiber-optic monitoring, and real-time production optimization.
-
In this study, forward simulation is executed by a commercial reservoir simulator while external code is developed for backward calculations.
-
This paper presents a workflow that leverages a multiagent conversational system to integrate data, analytics, and domain expertise for improved completion strategies.
-
Findings from two new SPE papers argue that the tight-rock sector needs to rethink longstanding assumptions about how hydraulic fractures form underground.
-
In this study, the authors propose the use of a deep-learning reduced-order surrogate model that can lower computational costs significantly while still maintaining high accuracy for data assimilation or history-matching problems.
-
This paper demonstrates the effectiveness of integrating dynamic gas separation with existing gas-avoidance methods within the same electrical submersible pump string to address these issues.
-
The operator developed a solution that has kept the well at stable production for over a year after treatment.
-
The rise in China’s gas production, now exceeding that of Qatar and of Australia, is also limiting growth in its LNG demand.
