In the realm of enabling technologies, multiphase flow modeling has proven to be one of the most important to the oil and gas industry. Without it, nearly all subsea wells would be too costly or dangerous to develop. -
The amazing rate of improvement in computing technology provides numerous opportunities for improving our operations, but unless the data from various systems can be integrated, it won't deliver on its potential.

Making hole has become a more difficult and complex operation as operators move into untapped horizons, especially deepwater and unconventional fields.
-
In April, downhole chemical technology provider Flotek Industries acquired water-based, drilling fluid-additive technology from ARC Drilling Fluids.
