The perspectives gained from the Hydraulic Fracturing Technology Conference offer a glimpse of life after COVID-19, which looks better and different.

Compared with 2020, the largest discoveries made last year may hold just a third of the oil and gas reserves, according to new data from Westwood Global Energy Group.

Tight gas supplies, and uncertain Russian gas supplies mean sky-high prices for LNG suppliers now and a chance to lock in attractive contracts long term. But this opportunity won’t last forever.

Selling reservoirs’ empty pore space may become a new, big business.

The failure of the Raptor rig to drill its first-ever well offers a short history of the challenges that came with creating the first automated drilling rig.

The difficulty in selling a chemical to aid subsea pipeline flow has been delivering it to the wells.

The price of natural gas has more than doubled this year in many parts of the world. The ripple effects are starting to be felt, but how wide they will spread may not be known until winter comes.

This years’ Offshore Technology Conference is full of people working on ways to diversify away from just oil and gas.

Can a camera on the drill floor, or one on a mobile phone, measure what is going on during drilling or evaluate drill-bit wear more consistently than a human?

The way gas injection is used to lift oil and water to the surface needs to change because better control and data may mean more production. At a time when engineers are managing so many wells, they need help from machines.
