National Oilwell Varco – NOV Shows Good Recovery in the Oil Market, Which Is Taking Root, Thus Becoming Evident in the Results of the Second Quarter of This Year.

The company’s oilfield equipment revenue surged to meet demand, which finally allowed it to generate profit. These results are expected to continue improving from here, as the recovery is still in its early stages. National Oilwell Varco’s revenue rose 20% compared to the same quarter last year, to US $ 2.11 billion, which also increased 17% compared to the first quarter. Additionally, the company reported US $ 24 million, or US $ 0.06 per share, in net income, reversing a consistent string of losses.

The drilling technologies segment stood out when revenue grew 35% sequentially and 19% year over year, exceeding expectations, driven by advancements in the construction of new offshore drilling rigs, the delivery of two land rigs, and aftermarket sales. The company also booked US $ 2.03 billion in new orders during the quarter, including US $ 1.8 billion associated with a recently signed joint venture with Saudi Aramco, raising the backlog to US $ 3.51 billion.

Revenue from the well technologies segment also soared in the quarter, up 12% above average and 29% year over year, driven by the continued recovery of drilling activities in the U.S. and a seasonal recovery in the Eastern Hemisphere. Meanwhile, sales in the completion and production solutions segment increased 10% compared to the last quarter and 13% compared to the same period last year, thanks to the growing capital equipment market in North America and rising demand for pressure pumping equipment and composite pipes. National Oilwell Varco registered US $ 398 million in new orders during the period, ending with a backlog of US $ 995 million.

Just the Beginning

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

While the U.S. still faces limitations in deep space, China is developing unprecedented technology with strategic satellites that maintain communication with the far side of the Moon and aims for dominance by 2030.

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

The Blood Falls of Antarctica hide a living ecosystem trapped under the ice for over 2 million years, where microbes survive without light, without oxygen, and without ever having seen the Sun.

Bavarian archaeologists unearthed a medieval skeleton that had an articulated iron hand in place of its left arm, and the discovery reveals that doctors were already creating sophisticated prosthetics over 500 years ago.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

The probe that passed by Saturn nearly 20 years ago captured something that no one expected — and only now have scientists deciphered complex organic molecules coming from an ocean hidden beneath the ice.

Before mining the ocean floor, scientists found 24 unknown creatures at 4,000 meters — including an entire superfamily that science had never seen before.

In the asteroid belt, an “impossible comet” is releasing water vapor where it shouldn’t exist, and the James Webb telescope has revealed that primordial ice has survived for billions of years in a region that could rewrite the origin of water on Earth.

Mercedes has created an electric motor with over 1,000 horsepower that weighs only 12.7 kilograms — less than a suitcase and with the highest power density ever recorded.

At over 8 meters tall and resembling a trunk, this creature dominated the Earth 400 million years before the dinosaurs — and science still doesn’t know what it was.
