DSDE: Emerging Technology

The Space Act Agreement will allow BP and NASA to share technologies and technical expertise with the goal of benefiting human space exploration and energy production.

This study compares seven imputation techniques for predicting missing core-measured horizontal and vertical permeability and porosity data in two wells drilled in the North Rumaila oil field in southern Iraq.

It’s hard to create corporate or master data strategies when every user group you talk to has a different idea of what “good” should look like from their perspective.

Intelligent Wellhead Systems and ProFrac Services say the new method simplifies and streamlines data transfer during hydraulic fracturing.

A seismic prediction model is developed and presented in a case study to simulate the magnitude and timing of triggered seismic events with the intent to manage and mitigate environmental impacts resulting from induced seismicity during subsurface development activities.

A universal, automated approach to condition-based maintenance of drilling rig mud pumps is developed using acoustic emission sensors and deep learning models for early detection of pump failures to help mitigate and reduce costs and nonproductive time generally associated with catastrophic pump failures.

Using autonomous systems creates efficiencies, but, even more critically, it also allows engineers to be engineers.

This paper details a successful pilot to improve long-term well performance using acid stimulation aided by a tailored metal oxide nanoparticle-based fluid in the Wolfcamp A formation.

The new system at the US Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory achieved more than a quintillion calculations per second.

With the growing reliability of uncrewed aircraft, oil companies are now eager to have offshore rigs supplied in a more systematic and autonomous way. So, why haven’t we heard more about using uncrewed craft?
