America’s energy demand is growing, and it is crucial that midstream capacity keep up with production to avoid bottlenecks. Fortunately, technology provides the solution to this challenge. Baker Hughes recently signed an agreement with Genesis Energy, L.P. to provide drag-reducing agents that will substantially increase capacity in two critical offshore oil pipelines serving the U.S. Gulf Coast. The management and deployment of these chemicals will be optimized through the use of Leucipa™ automated field production solution. Baker Hughes’ advanced DRAs are highly effective in the crudes produced along the U.S. Gulf Coast, and their versatility, ability to maintain crude quality, and innovative delivery systems enhance pipeline efficiency and improve operational flexibility. By utilizing DRAs to reduce friction between pipelines and the resources that flow through them, Genesis can increase its capacity without the need for large investments of time and capital, all while helping the country meet its energy needs.

Chevron and our New Energies organization are excited to announce our joint development with Engine No. 1 and GE Vernova to deliver scalable, reliable power solutions to U.S. data centers running on U.S. natural gas. We plan to deliver up to 4 GW, the equivalent of powering 3-3.5 million U.S. homes, of natural gas-fired projects to data center customers, with initial in-service by the end of 2027. The projects are expected to be designed with the flexibility to integrate lower carbon solutions over time.   We are meeting the moment with a win-win-win for our country, for consumers, and for customers. The project leverages Chevron’s strengths to deliver affordable, reliable, and lower carbon energy to power U.S. data centers, which is key to American economic leadership and our national security.

At Vistra, reliability comes first.  We’re proud to announce the next step in strengthening Texas’ energy future: expanding our Permian Basin Power Plant by adding two new natural gas units. Together, they’ll bring 860 megawatts (MW) of reliable generation, tripling the site’s capacity to more than 1,185 MW. We recognize that energy is critical to powering economic opportunities and that customer demand is growing, particularly in West Texas. These new units will support the region’s expanding oil and natural gas activities, data centers, and other industries.    “Texas leads the nation in energy production, providing reliable and affordable power for Texans and the rest of the country,” said Texas Governor Greg Abbott. “Vistra’s bold investment in the Permian Basin will reinforce our state’s electric grid, spur jobs, and drive regional economic growth for years to come. Together, we are powering Texas by supporting families, fueling businesses, and meeting the energy demands of our thriving state.”    👉 Learn more here: powertexasforward.com #EnergyReliability  #PoweringTexas #PowerTexasForward

Jereh's mobile gas-driven reciprocating compressor has achieved a major milestone in long-distance pipeline operations, recovering 667,000 m³ of natural gas that would otherwise be flared or vented during maintenance. This solution helped reduce 471 tons of methane and 1,400+ tons of CO₂ emissions, while generating over 2 million RMB in recovered gas value. With intelligent pressure control and modular, explosion-proof design, it delivered a 12,000 m³/h stable recovery rate and reduced pipeline pressure from 3.0 to 1.5 MPa, all within just 72 hours of deployment. Traditionally, pipeline venting causes both environmental and economic loss. Jereh's innovation offers a scalable, low-carbon alternative ready to support operators worldwide in reducing emissions and maximizing asset value. #Jereh #EnergyTransition #NaturalGas #Recovery #Emission #Gas #Sustainability

🔒 Closing the Deal: It’s Not Just About the Final Yes When people ask me, “How do you actually close deals in complex environments like oil & gas or AI?”—I tell them this: Deals aren’t closed at the table. They’re closed through alignment, trust, and repetition—long before the final pitch. Here’s what effective closers consistently do: 🧠 Speak to outcomes, not offerings Your client isn’t buying a platform—they’re buying fewer sleepless nights. Get to the “why” faster. 🎯 Anchor with proof and possibility Bring data that validates their pain. Then paint the vision that makes their decision feel like momentum. 🤝 Make it feel safe to say yes Risk lives in ambiguity. Your job is to demystify impact, align incentives, and keep the path frictionless. 💬 Follow through like a leader, not a vendor People buy from those who educate, not chase. Show up as a strategic ally with post-deal clarity baked in. Let’s raise the bar on how deals get done—especially in industries where trust, timing, and technical relevance matter. #SalesLeadership #OilAndGas #AIinEnergy #StrategicGrowth #DealMaking #IronLadyMoves #FuelingImpact

Closed Loop System Results in 21% Cost Reduction on 13,000 ft Well A customer approached us seeking ways to reduce both disposal and drilling fluid costs. They had just completed a 13,000 ft well using traditional methods and were looking to implement a complete closed loop system on their next well. Coincidentally, we had recently installed our closed loop system and completed a nearly identical 13,000 ft well. After compiling and analyzing all operational data, the results were clear: a 21% cost reduction was achieved on the second well. This reduction was driven by: Lower disposal volumes, thanks to efficient solids control and fluid recovery Improved mud retention, minimizing the need for additional mud products Streamlined waste handling, reducing haul-off frequency and associated logistics costs These results highlight the significant value a properly executed closed loop system can provide—both environmentally and financially.
