The company is cutting rigs in the Permian Basin but continues to generate more oil with fewer crews, while its $53 billion Hess deal expands its portfolio to Guyana and the Bakken Shale. "Where we're headed next is we're going to get more out of the wells, but it's going to require a different kind of insight and the ability to connect things together, and AI is going to be a big part of that," Niemeyer said.

  The largest and most powerful rocket ever built went up to space and back, launching at 7:30pm ET yesterday from Starbase in Texas. The Starship spacecraft and the Super Heavy booster both made simulated landings before exploding (the former in the Indian Ocean, the latter in the Gulf of Mexico). An expert source told the New York Times that the company “appeared to achieve all of their test objectives” and is “back on track” after three Starship tests failed earlier this year. The mission gives both SpaceX and NASA good news and momentum as they work together toward the Artemis III mission, which intends to put two astronauts on the moon and is currently scheduled for late 2027.
