DSDE: In the Industry

This article is the fourth in a Q&A series from the SPE Research and Development Technical Section focusing on emerging energy technologies. In this piece, David Reid, the CTO and CMO for NOV, discusses the evolution and current state of automated drilling systems.

The collaboration has announced Closed Loop Fracturing, which combines real-time subsurface data with automated surface control.

The collaboration will see TGS’ software platform implemented throughout the carbon value chain at the Northern Lights project.

The company, as part of joint industry projects, has released an updated version of its computational fluid dynamics software that it says will aid in developing technology for the energy transition.

The companies are joining forces to work on large-scale industrial data collection across TotalEnergies’ operational sites, aiming to use continuous, real-time data collection to optimize performance.

The Energy and AI Observatory aims to use up-to-date information on energy demand from data centers to determine how artificial intelligence is optimizing the energy sector.

The company is making available its data on ocean and weather conditions in an effort to boost transparency and innovation.

The agreement focuses on improving operational efficiency and consistency through advanced digital tools and real-time data integration.

TotalEnergies and the French company Mistral AI are joining forces to extend the use of AI in improving TotalEnergies’ performance, especially in low-carbon energies. The partners plan to set up a joint innovation lab focused on artificial intelligence.

Operators that demand control of their future position in global energy production are forging ahead into new territory by digitally transforming their operations at a time that still feels relatively comfortable. They’ve recognized that, while traditional approaches served the industry well for many decades, the chance to reimagine how they do things is not something…
