NOV faced that challenge head-on by evolving to include renewable energy initiatives such as wind, solar, geothermal, carbon capture, and more. Read more...
Pulling the Plug on Fracturing Challenges
Oilfield Technology Magazine
Across the industry, extended-reach wells are becoming the norm. An emphasis on minimizing drilling and completions costs has pushed out lateral lengths, meaning fewer wells are needed to maintain the same amount of reservoir contact. Today's longer laters, enhanced drilling techniques and friction reduction tools have delivered new challenges to operators, though. Read more...

Throughout this publication you will find specific examples of what we are doing, what we are planning, and what we are striving for at NOV. While a lot goes into our commitment to sustainability, it all comes down to doing the right thing, however we can. Read more...
Benefits for Humanity: 3rd Edition
NASA
The new edition fills more than 200 pages with the many benefits of conducting research on the orbiting microgravity laboratory and includes new assessments of the economic value - as well as greater detail about the scientific value - of the International Space Station. Read more...
Investigation seeks to create self-assembling materials
NASA
As we travel farther into space, clever solutions to problems like engine part malfunctions and other possible mishaps will be a vital part of the planning process. 3D printing, or additive manufacturing, is an emerging technology that may be used to custom-create mission-critical parts. Read more...
Space Station Crew Cultivates Crystals for Drug Development
NASA
Crew members aboard the International Space Station will begin conducting research soon to improve the way we grow crystals on Earth. The information gained from the experiments could speed up the process for drug development, benefiting humans around the world. Read more...
All about that (nucleic) base
NASA
What do astronauts, microbes and plants all have in common? Each relies on DNA – essentially a computer code for living things – to grow and thrive. The microscopic size of DNA, however, can create some big challenges for studying it aboard the International Space Station. Read more...
Genes in Space-3 Successfully Identifies Unknown Microbes in Space
NASA
Being able to identify microbes in real time aboard the International Space Station, without having to send them back to Earth for identification first, would be revolutionary for the world of microbiology and space exploration. The Genes in Space-3 team turned that possibility into a reality this year, when it completed the first-ever sample-to-sequence process entirely aboard the space station. Read more...
Failure is an option: How an inoperative CubeSat still holds STEM lessons
NASA
In December 2015, Gabe MacPhail, a seventh grader at St. Thomas More Cathedral School in Arlington, Virginia, travelled to Florida along with 100 other members of the school’s community to watch as the fourth Orbital-ATK Cygnus Commercial Resupply Service lifted into orbit atop an Atlas V rocket aimed toward the International Space Station. Read more...
Space Station Crew takes a breather with lung tissue investigation
NASA
The microgravity environment of the International Space Station impacts nearly every system within the human body. Researchers are studying the effects to the eyes, heart, muscles, and bones, but an area that hasn’t received as much focus is one that is vital to human survival: the lungs. Read more...
Sequencing the Station: Investigation aims to identify unknown microbes in space
NASA
Building on the ability to sequence DNA in space and previous investigations, Genes in Space-3 is a collaboration to prepare, sequence and identify unknown organisms, entirely from space. When NASA astronaut Kate Rubins sequenced DNA aboard the International Space Station in 2016, it was a game changer. That first-ever sequencing of DNA in space was part of the Biomolecule Sequencer investigation. Read more...
You say tomato, I say tomatosphere
NASA
Stewed, canned or on the vine, there are lots of ways to buy tomatoes– but have you ever seen “flown in space” on a supermarket sticker? Tomato seeds have been making trips to the International Space Station for the past 16 years, and it’s about time to ketchup with the people involved in the project. Read more...
