DSDE: Emerging Technology

Artificial intelligence has come to the oil patch, accelerating a technical change that is transforming the conditions for the oil and gas industry’s 150,000 US workers.

The ability to predict the future to optimize operations has been the aim of oil and gas companies for some time. Could that time finally be here?

Researchers borrowed equations from calculus to redesign the core machinery of deep learning so it can model continuous processes like changes in health.

NextDecade Corp. appointed Erik Ludtke chief commercial officer effective 1 November. He will be responsible for developing and managing the natural gas supply portfolio, the midstream assets, and the commercial operations required to provide NextDecade’s customers with LNG from NextDecade’s Rio Grande LNG and Galveston Bay LNG projects. Mr. Ludtke has nearly 25 years…

“Greedy pursuit” in the realm of algorithms is a good thing. Saudi Aramco studied such algorithms to produce images simulating the flow inside a pipe’s cross section, possibly reducing the need for separator-based multiphase flowmeters.
