The success of any digital oilfield project is predicated on the quality of the data structure, acquisition, communication, validation, storage, retrieval, and provenance of the data.

A recent datathon and the team that took home the grand prize help paint a picture of both the industry’s’ digital transformation and how oil and gas engineers are embracing it to navigate uncertain times.

Engineers thrive on making more from less, and this month’s paper selections highlight efforts to improve the efficiency of gas-production operations throughout the world.

The complete paper describes an experimental study performed to investigate the onset of liquid loading in a 6-in. production casing at various inclination angles.

Advances during the past decade in using convolutional neural networks for visual recognition of discriminately different objects means that now object recognition can be achieved to a significant extent.

Our understanding of drilling with better software, instrumentation, machines, computer vision, downhole tools, and robots will continue improving the economics of horizontal wells, and the trend is set to continue. This is good news for the geothermal market.

This paper reports the effect of sodium dodecyl sulfate modified graphene (SDS-Gr) on the rheological features, fluid loss, and swelling inhibition mechanism of clay.

This paper describes a low-impact, nonaqueous drilling fluid (LIDF) designed to minimize equivalent circulating density (ECD) increases and associated risks in deep water by reducing the effect of cold temperature on fluid viscosity.

The complete paper describes an offshore artificial island project northwest of Abu Dhabi in which drilling limits were extended continually by adopting new technologies and practices in an extended-reach-drilling (ERD) campaign.

This paper discusses a new, comprehensive cuttings-transport model designed to enable safe and improved hole-cleaning operations.
