A presentation at the 2020 Offshore Technology Conference Asia described a study of unmanned aerial vehicles operated by off-site pilots based in remote control centers many miles from the facility.

ODDS—organization, due diligence, data, and scrub. These four important steps can make sure you are ready to implement artificial intelligence in a way that leads to a successful project.

A systematic approach to ensure quality assurance is intended to build confidence and accelerate the uptake of digital twins.

What happens when proactive regulations get ahead of our ability to gather and understand data? Are you guilty before being proven innocent or even being aware of what the data is saying? Are oil and gas operators on the defensive before they even get started with new regulations?

Digitalization and automation successes are here to stay. Instead of making small incremental steps in well construction operations, allowing disruptive shifts can lead to tangible performance gains in efficiency, safety, and well integrity.

The oil and gas industry has picked up on the benefits of digitization and artificial intelligence in its day-to-day activities, and the health, safety, and environment sector is no exception. While AI brings clear benefits, the risks that come with those benefits remain unclear.

Work from home is the new normal. Digital tools have come to the rescue. The questions that is going around the industry is: Will the increased reliance on digital technologies in the workplace generate increased adoption of the digital transformation?

An integrated advanced-analytics program is necessary to improve the performance and reliability of pumping systems.

FLITE Material Sciences says that its unique lasering process can be used on just about any type of material to make it either repel or attract water and oil. For an industry that deals with a lot of both, the technology has many potential use cases.

Using a European Space Agency satellite, data analytics firm Kayrros pinpointed global locations of methane emissions and recorded a 32% increase in the overall volume of methane emitted from large leaks compared with the first 8 months of 2019.
