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.

Sinopec is moving on to Phase 2 at its Weirong shale-gas development in Sichuan province after having completed Phase 1 by drilling 56 new wells over the past year and building new infrastructure to support increased natural gas production. -
An investigation of casing damage led Chesapeake Energy and Well Data Labs to identify patterns in the treating pressure data that are useful markers when trouble is likely.
-
With only around 30 installations worldwide, ADNOC’s onshore team has seen enough results from its first “fishbone” stimulation to embark on a 10-well program that will decide a full development scheme.

In the complete paper, the authors present a novel approach that uses data-mining techniques on operations data of a complex mature oil field in the Gulf of Suez that is currently being waterflooded.

The complete paper aims to identify the role of different geological settings with different types of fluid saturations in the response of EM-wave propagation and absorption.

In the complete paper, the authors generate a model by using an artificial-neural-network (ANN) technique to predict both capillary pressure and relative permeability from resistivity.

Eni and IBM developed a cognitive engine exploiting a deep-learning approach to scan documents, searching for basin geology concepts and extracting information about petroleum system elements.

The complete paper describes the first successful implementation of natural dumpflooding offshore Malaysia as a case study to provide insight into the value of using the approach to maximize oil recovery in a mature field, particularly in a low-margin business climate.
-
The enhanced-oil-recovery literature produced in the past several months was dominated by reservoir modeling and characterization; flood enhancements; machine learning; and, more notably, relative permeability estimation. This last one needs to be understood further.

Malaysia’s national oil and company will employ the technology suite in secondary recovery and well stimulation. The deal follows the service provider’s recent agreements in the Middle East.
