Eco‐Friendly Nonfluorinated Coating of Omniphobic Membranes With ZnO Nanoparticles Re‐Entrant Structures: Design, Characterization, and Desalination Performance via Membrane Distillation

ABSTRACT Membrane distillation commonly faces challenges such as wetting, fouling, and scaling, which limit its long‐term desalination performance. In this study, an omniphobic membrane was developed via an ecofriendly coating approach, a nonfluorinated omniphobic PVDF hollow fib...

Case Study: An Industry-First Comprehensive Perforation-Testing Program To Evaluate Perforation-Charge Performance Across Multiple Tubulars

_ Perforation tunnel geometry is critical to well deliverability. While downhole performance is traditionally predicted using commercial simulators based on API RP 19B Section I, the industry is increasingly adopting Section II testing data for more-reliable simulation output. Hi...

Technology Focus: Subsea Systems (August 2026)

_ The selected papers for this year’s feature collectively illustrate a clear industry transition toward subsea-centric architectures that decouple production performance from topside constraints, combining processing, boosting, and simplified system designs adapted to specific f...
