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.

The service giant shares new details about its automated fracturing spreads that slash human operator workload by 88%. -
Transitioning to a low-carbon economy demands large-scale CO2, natural gas, and hydrogen storage. In this context, the application of AI/ML technology to uncover geochemical, microbial, geomechanical, and hydraulic mechanisms related to storage and solve complicated history-matching and optimization problems, thereby enhancing storage efficiency, has been prominently …

This paper presents a comprehensive model of geothermal exploitation for depleted deep heavy oil reservoirs through supercritical CO₂ injection.
-
The authors introduce a novel framework combining dynamic mode decomposition, a data-driven model-reduction technique, with direct data assimilation to streamline the calibration of carbon-dioxide plume evolution models.
-
This paper discusses the concept, applications, and continual evolution of a new 3D temperature and spectral-acoustics modeling and logging approach.
-
This paper discusses the development of a multientry, multistage fracturing system and its advantages over traditional openhole multistage fracturing solutions.
-
The authors of this paper describe a study in which performance optimization was demonstrated in thermoplastic sealing systems for oil and gas equipment using 3D printing to manufacture multicomponent composite structures.
-
In a deal described as possibly "one of the most important transactions BP has done in 20 years" by CEO Murray Auchincloss, the company has agreed contractual terms with the Iraqi government to invest in drilling and infrastructure to rehabilitate and boost production at the Kirkuk oil field.
