Improving logging while drilling operations in hotter, deeper wells
January 21, 2026
Sponsored by: Baker Hughes
Drilling in deeper, hotter wells no longer means compromising on reliability or the critical insights needed to maximize the return from your wells. With logging-while-drilling (LWD) solutions, it’s possible to capture accurate, real-time data and have better visibility even in the most complex, and harshest environments. In this webinar, we’ll explore how today’s high-performance LWD solutions deliver dependable insights that support better well placement, great reservoir contact, and improved production outcomes. Discover how you can stay in control, reduce uncertainty, and achieve more value from every well, regardless of its depth, temperature, or complexity.

Well Abandonment - Cost-effective solutions achieved through collaboration, technology, optimization & integration
November 05, 2025
Sponsored by: Baker Hughes
In this webcast, Baker Hughes experts will explore strategic approaches to improving operational efficiency and minimizing environmental impact during well abandonment operations. Key advantages include reducing the number of trips to lower time, costs, and emissions, as well as utilizing automation and digital technologies to enable smarter interventions and data-driven decision-making.
The session will also cover methods for decreasing surface footprint, transitioning from rig-based to rigless operations, and shifting from riser-based to riserless approaches. Additionally, the presenters will emphasize the role of electrification, risk mitigation, scope optimization, and remote operations in enhancing task certainty through advanced automation and digital solutions.

Sealing the future: CCUS well integrity completions, and monitoring for the long haul
October 15, 2025
Sponsored by: Baker Hughes
Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) projects depend on one uncompromising factor: integrity. Unlike oil and gas wells designed for decades, CCUS wells must remain sealed and secure for up to 75 years or more. This panel will explore how existing completion technologies—adapted with the right metallurgies, packers, cementing practices, and zonal isolation techniques—can deliver reliable containment under corrosive CO₂ environments. We’ll discuss what’s required to demonstrate injectivity without exceeding fracture pressures, how to optimize well design for cost and long-term reliability, and why monitoring is as critical as the initial construction. From real-time fiber optic and electronic gauge data to periodic logging and corrosion checks, effective monitoring ensures that what goes in stays in. With lessons from both subsurface design and surface execution, the session will highlight how to adapt proven oil and gas technologies to meet CCUS requirements while aligning with regulatory compliance, cost efficiency, and longevity.
