FEATURES
PERMIAN BASIN TECHNOLOGY
Companies are moving away from diesel power to reduce emissions and capture efficiencies, but even greater gains can be achieved with the right matchup of power sources and pumps.
The Permian basin remains at the forefront of North America’s unconventional resource development, presenting both immense opportunities and ongoing challenges in well construction. Recent advances in drilling technologies are reshaping approaches to extended-lateral well delivery, operational efficiency and sustainable field practices.
COLUMNS
