This paper introduces a novel optimization framework to address CO2 injection strategies under geomechanical risks using a Fourier neural operator-based deep-learning model.

Experts speaking at CERAWeek 2025 lauded industry's shift from focusing on the energy transition to prioritizing oil production.

Global offshore decommissioning projects hear the starting gun in Australia and the North Sea, but will the race be a marathon or a sprint?

This paper discusses and demonstrates the limitations of quantitative risk assessments (QRA) with respect to the usefulness of the concept in managing day-to-day and emerging risks as well as the effect of change. The paper goes on to discuss improved solution sets compared with pure reliance on QRA.

“Riskwashing” refers to a situation where an organization engages in superficial or insincere actions to create the appearance of addressing a particular risk or issue without actually taking substantive action to address the underlying problem. This paper presents methods to identify and minimize riskwashing as an organizational response to incidents.

This paper presents a method of geomechanical-risk screening and gives examples of its positive effect on the company’s safety standards through implementation of integrated solutions to prevent or mitigate the risks.

At SPE’s Permian Basin Energy Conference, operators shared behind-the-scenes details on innovations such as drilling horseshoe wells and trimulfrac completions along with in-basin challenges such as handling produced water.

The late-season hurricane caused damage across western Cuba and now is setting its sights on the US Gulf of Mexico.

Speaking at this year's ADIPEC, leaders from BP, Shell, Petronas, ADNOC, and Eni said the energy transition must become profitable and that AI will likely play a key role.
