The July/August issue of Oilfield Technology is now available, featuring expert insight into some of the upstream sector's biggest technical challenges. This edition covers everything from deepwater project protection and subsea lifecycle engineering, to well integrity, idle well revival, drilling optimisation and decommissioning, alongside a global round-up of the latest upstream developments.
The May/June 2026 issue of Oilfield Technology explores how the upstream industry is balancing operational efficiency, innovation, and sustainability in an evolving energy landscape. Topics range from offshore carbon capture and storage, subsea supply chains, and geothermal well development, to production monitoring, completions optimisation, digital integration, and data-driven asset performance. Together, the articles highlight how operators and technology providers are using advanced engineering, digital tools, and innovative approaches to improve reliability, maximise production, and support the industry's transition to a lower-carbon future.
The March/April 2026 issue of Oilfield Technology focuses on how the upstream sector is adapting to ageing assets, evolving standards, and increasing pressure to operate more efficiently and sustainably, with a strong thread around decommissioning, lifecycle management, and integrity. It highlights updates to API guidance for reassessing and extending dynamic riser life, explores decommissioning through a waste management lens, and examines the growing intensity of UK decommissioning activity.
The January/February 2026 issue of Oilfield Technology focuses on how the oil and gas industry is navigating a period of capital discipline, digital acceleration, and operational complexity by extracting more value from existing assets. With a strong focus on digitalisation, AI, and advanced analytics, the articles examine how operators are optimising performance, improving safety, and extending field life, while also addressing the risks that come with increased reliance on intelligent systems. Alongside digital strategy, the issue covers practical engineering challenges – from corrosion protection and water treatment to lifting, logistics, and pumping technologies – reflecting an industry balancing innovation, resilience, and energy security in a rapidly evolving global landscape.
The November/December 2025 issue of Oilfield Technology focuses on how the upstream sector is modernising to stay efficient, competitive, and lower-carbon. It explores decarbonising drilling operations, improving performance through advanced monitoring and drilling technologies, reshoring and strengthening supply chains, enhancing offshore inspections, and tightening cybersecurity. Together, the articles highlight a sector pushing towards greater efficiency, resilience, and sustainability across the full lifecycle of oilfield operations.
The September/October 2025 issue of Oilfield Technology includes articles on: future-proofing the upstream workforce; the sector’s progress in automation and digitalisation; floating asset integrity; customised design for lost circulation control, and much more. Also included: scale management in the Barents Sea, a case study on long term preservative biocides, and decommissioning in a new industrial era.
The July/August 2025 issue of Oilfield Technology includes articles on well integrity, decommissioning, well control, CCS, contaminant removal, seismic data, and a keynote article on how the Asia-Pacific region is balancing unmatched growth and complexity with the energy transition.
The May/June 2025 issue of Oilfield Technology includes articles on emissions monitoring, the challenge of high-frequency torsional oscillation, flow control, drilling difficult wells, and digital collaboration platforms.
The March/April 2025 issue of Oilfield Technology includes articles on wellsite monitoring, drilling performance, autonomous oilfields, FPSOs, subsea production challenges, and well pump operations.
The January/February 2025 issue of Oilfield Technology includes keynote articles on enhancing offshore safety and risk management; technical articles on digital technology, drilling, EOR, and flow control. We also cover predictive maintenance, and production monitoring.
The November/December 2024 issue of Oilfield Technology includes a report on 2024’s upstream highlights from the Asia Pacific region, along with technical articles on intuitive shaker technology; reshaping OCTG and line pipe supply chains in the UAE; mercaptan removal strategies; and maximising pressure pumping with durable pump consumables.
