The rise of automation has been a common theme in stories that touch almost every business sector. One of the places where automation has shown the most value has been in enterprise security, where it can reduce costs and mitigate vulnerabilities in many instances.

This section lists with regret SPE members who recently passed away.

Specifically targeting ingrained thinking, the selected papers demonstrate the game-changing results that can be achieved even when targeting long-established norms. They demonstrate everything that our industry should be proud of and what we strive for.

This article addresses a means to improve hydraulic fracturing operations by measuring the perforation effectiveness on a stage-by-stage basis before the hydraulic fracturing process begins.

Field examples presented in the complete paper describe principles of data acquisition with a sand-detection tool when run in combination with a production logging string and results of logging in slightly deviated wells completed with sand screens.

The complete paper discuses a well with a history of sand production that exhibits long cyclic slugging behavior.

Sand-control-installation failures range from minor issues that can be remedied easily to catastrophic events that put the entire well and investment at risk.

Automated image-processing algorithms can improve the quality and speed in classifying the morphology of heterogeneous carbonate rock. Several commercial products have produced petrophysical properties from 2D images and, to a lesser extent, from 3D images.

The complete paper provides an approach using machine-learning and sequence-mining algorithms for predicting and classifying the next operation based on textual descriptions.

The complete paper describes an automated machine-learning approach to determine the spatial variation in decline type curves for shale gas production, based on existing data of production, completion, and geological parameters.
