Average output reached 13.6 million BOPD, extending a period of sustained growth that has kept the US at the forefront of global oil production.
A report commissioned by Havtil, the Norwegian Ocean Industry Authority, calls for better dialogue regarding pore-pressure uncertainty and higher-end drilling techniques like managed pressure drilling as methods to reduce the risk of well-control events.
The events will be co-located 3–5 May 2027 at Reliant Park in Houston, Texas.

The authors report that nanopolysilicon can be used effectively as a depressurizing, injection-increasing agent. -
The authors develop and apply a laboratory protocol mimicking leakoff, shut-in, and flowback processes to evaluate the effects of fracturing-fluid additives on oil regained permeability.

Incremental gains are not always celebrated, but as two of the biggest oil producers in the US show, they nonetheless can net unrealized savings and new efficiencies.
-
The combined company will have a strengthened position in the Permian Basin, and plans to operate 17 hydraulic fracturing fleets in the region.
-
Thousands of horizontal wells that had been drilled but uncompleted (DUCs) offered a way to maintain production without the cost of drilling more wells, but that resource is finally running low.

The third quarter has so far not seen any mergers and acquisitions in the shale business that top $1 billion.
-
The application of an extended-release scale-inhibitor in approximately 70 vertical conventional wells in the Permian Basin has shown approximately three times better performance compared to the incumbent chemical.
