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 second part of a two-part series presents the use of XA…

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.
