    Data Science Offers Perspective on Downtime of Production Facilities Caused by Storms in the Gulf of Mexico
    Tropical storms severely affect oil and gas production in the Gulf of Mexico, especially during the storm season from June to December. Offshore well managers often need to shut down operations and evacuate the facility because of storm alerts. The purpose of this paper is to determine the effect of storms on production by quantifying metrics such as downtime days and…

    Data-Driven, Automated Batch Treatment Program Streamlines Rod-Pump Maintenance
    Economical oil extraction depends largely on reducing wear and tear of downhole equipment and tubulars through regular monitoring and batch treatment to cut the risk of corrosion and costly workovers. Having a data-driven approach to scheduling batch treatment can bring down the frequency of treatment and avoid the unnecessary use of resources.
