DSDE: Emerging Technology

Oil and gas facilities regularly store and dispense large quantities of flammable and combustible liquids. Given the potential for gas, vapor, or dust to collect in these areas, the electronic equipment installed must be designed to prevent ignition of these elements by electrical arcing or other thermal means.

MIT scientists hope to deploy a fleet of drones to get a better sense of how much carbon the ocean is absorbing and how much more it can take.

Founded in 2008, GA Drilling is developing plasma-based tools to achieve drilling speeds that are about three times faster than what conventional bit technology has historically achieved.

Verlume and consortium partners are working to advance the development of a robotic fish designed for efficient offshore inspection.

Data science plays an increasing role in the fight against climate change. As we use data science to develop innovative solutions to climate change, we should be careful not to replicate, or worsen, existing inequities—or create new ones.

A new generation of detectors will be many times better at tracking discharges of the dangerous greenhouse gas.

A recent survey sponsored by ABS Group revealed that 45% of participants estimate the threats to their control systems are high and another 15% said they were severe or critical.

Microsoft's Azure and Research teams are working together on the Singularity artificial-intelligence infrastructure service.

Dozens of startups continue to get tens of millions in venture funding to make chips for AI in mobile and other embedded computing uses. The race shows no sign of slowing down.

The goal of this paper is to aid oilfield security planning and design processes through improved recognition of the cyber-physical security effects arising from the implementation of the industrial Internet of Things.
