A decade ago, SPE defined key R&D and technology challenges for the industry. To address the more uncertain environment of the 2020s and beyond, we have updated the grand challenges via a January 2023 SPE workshop.

The duo’s new services will be initially deployed in Iraq.

Despite energy companies' enthusiasm for implementing digital technologies in drilling analysis, many predictions still include a high level of uncertainty.

The startup known for helping introduce Bitcoin mining to the upstream industry is now also offering cloud computing using associated gas.

Speakers from various disciplines and professions focus on industry trends, challenges, technology applications and advances. Scheduled DL events are in-person meetings only.

Artificial intelligence (AI) tools have been used in geological survey methods for many years. Gaining insight into the scale and trends of this implementation could assist surveyors in making informed decisions about buying or developing new technologies.

Organizers are calling on early-stage innovators that can advance the energy space to compete for recognition and cash prizes at the upcoming SPE Annual Technology Conference and Exhibition (ATCE).

Oil and gas operators such as Shell and Oxy are now employing AI together with a vast network of sensors and other machine-learning software to stamp out problems before they happen.

This article presents a deep-learning approach, the long short-term memory network, for adaptive hydrocarbon production forecasting that takes historical operational and production information as input sequences to predict oil production as a function of operational plans.

While the industry is adopting the technology, one expert highlights areas where the oil and gas sector could speed up the adoption of artificial intelligence.
