Occidental Petroleum and Ecopetrol to Drill World’s Deepest Offshore Oil Well

U.S. shale producer Occidental Petroleum Corp. (NYSE:OXY) and Colombia’s integrated energy company Ecopetrol S.A. (NYSE:EC) are planning to drill an offshore oil well off Colombia’s waters in seas roughly 3,900 meters (close to 13,000 feet) deep before the year is out, Bloomberg has reported. Dubbed Komodo-1, the ultra-deepwater well will qualify as the deepest offshore oil well in the world, beating Angola’s block 48 well, which holds the current world-record water depth of 3,628 m (11,903 ft).

Illuminating the future: a shift to solar in offshore energy

In the world of energy production, power is not just a component; it’s the cornerstone that propels every facet of the industry forward. From the depths of drilling and extraction to the complexities of processing and distribution, it is the uninterrupted flow of power that ensures operations run smoothly and efficiently. A disruption in this flow doesn’t merely pause operations; it halts the entire lifecycle of energy production and its revenue streams.
