One of the major characteristics of petroleum data analytics is its incorporation of explainable artificial intelligence (XAI). Predictive models of petroleum data analytics are not represented through unexplainable black-box behavior. Predictive models of petroleum data analytics are reasonably explainable. This first part of a two-part series presents the history of…
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…
Earlier this year, 19 teams competed in a machine-learning contest held by the Data Analytics Study Group of SPE’s Gulf Coast Section. The was the first competition of its kind for SPE. Here, the organizers of the contest present some of the techniques used and lessons learned from the Machine Learning Challenge 2021.

“What is the drilling state” has become an important question among data scientists and automation experts. The simplest definition of a complicated concept is that it is what the driller is doing at the time. -
SPE is accepting applications for its annual Energy Startup Competition. The deadline for applications is 2 July.

A growing volume of free data and reports from US shale fracturing test sites is available, with more on the way.
The digital project is designed to deliver data management and insight across Aramco’s entire drilling fleet, making it the largest deployment in Baker Hughes’ history.
The Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) and the American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG) announced today that the two organizations are exploring the possibility of becoming one.
The paper examines the potential for larger and more-complex facilities to be converted to a mostly unattended status.
The service company announced that it will collaborate with Amazon Web Services to deploy its software, anchored by its Delfi Petrotechnical Suite, in the cloud.
Amir Husain sat down with OTC Live to present the trajectory of artificial intelligence and how it will change the face of oil and gas.
Fourteen technologies from 14 companies around the world were selected, including five companies receiving small business recognition.
The launch in Europe in mid-April of a new gas cloud imaging system from US technology company Honeywell will reveal the ability of artificial intelligence systems to improve safety at oil and gas installations.
Big data analytics is a big deal right now in the oil and gas industry. This emerging trend is on track to become an industry best practice for good reason: It improves exploration and production efficiency.

Can a camera on the drill floor, or one on a mobile phone, measure what is going on during drilling or evaluate drill-bit wear more consistently than a human? -
The scale of the recent Colonial Pipeline ransomware attack demonstrates why cyber risk should be assessed as a business risk by organizations’ C-suite, going beyond the narrower view of IT/OT network risk. -
Airborne drones with magnetometers have worked well in trials and are ready for more widespread use, potentially revealing thousands of previously unknown wells. -
To develop improved predictive models of complex real-world problems, one needs to pursue a balanced perspective. Ultimately, the physics we know needs to rely on data to unmask the physics that we do not yet know.

The paper evaluates the effect of different injection methods on oil recovery and CO2 storage potential in a depleted sandstone reservoir in the Norwegian Continental Shelf. -
Case studies demonstrate how an autonomous outflow-control device prevents growth and excessive fluid injection into thief/fracture zones and maintains a balanced or prescribed injection distribution. -
The risk-management firm is teaming up with academia and a robotics specialist for a research project focused on automatic processing of data gathered by autonomous and remote-controlled vehicles. -
This paper discusses the development and commissioning of one of the first fields in the UAE to be operated remotely. The designed and applied technology facilitated unmanned operation of the field from downhole to export.

SPYDR, MetaRock team up with Pioneer Natural Resources for a pilot program in the Permian Basin to test real-time fluid monitoring.
-
Google takes the wraps off its Quantum AI campus in California and shows off its plans for an "error-corrected" quantum device.
-
Saudi Aramco is accelerating the adoption and scaleup of disruptive and multipurpose robotic technologies to deliver safer, cost-effective, and efficient inspection capabilities, emergency response, aerial mapping, project monitoring, security surveillance, and environmental monitoring.
