Olivier Houzé discusses his views on SPE finances, including a historical perspective, the effects of downturns and the COVID-19 pandemic, ongoing recovery, and future plans.
ExxonMobil developed an automated system to identify nonproductive and underperforming Permian Basin wells and prioritize high-volume wells to return to production.
The companies have finished a seismic survey of an underexplored area of the Bonaparte Basin offshore northwest Australia.
The companies plan to develop new artificial-intelligence-powered processes and workflows to optimize oil and gas production.
Aker BP plans to use a software platform from TGS as a process data server designed to improve field operations.
The new contract extends a decadelong relationship and expands the use of AI and digital twins.
The firm’s latest report, Leading a Data-Driven Transition, presents the results of its annual survey of nearly 1,300 senior professionals and divides the respondents into two groups, which it calls “digital leaders” and “digital laggards.”
The support vessel operator has invested in project-management software and in making connections using Starlink satellites.
European oil and gas company Aker BP has agreed to a software-as-a-service collaboration with software firm Aize.
