Norway’s oil and gas major, Equinor, made headlines in October 2018 following its launch of the world’s first fully automated wellhead platform, the Oseberg H. Here, Claudia Jarrett, US country manager of parts supplier EU Automation, explains the challenges of unmanned automation in oil and gas.

A thermal asset in Oman is characterized by a large-scale steam-drive/cyclic-steam-soak development project, underpinned by extensive data gathering.

This paper discusses an enhanced-oil-recovery (EOR) polymer-flood pilot at the Captain field in the UK North Sea during 2011–2013.

This paper discusses the operation of the largest offshore high-pressure water-alternating-gas (WAG) injection pilot using hydrocarbon (HC) gas, with a gas-injection capacity of approximately 100 MMscf/D, in the giant Al-Shaheen field offshore Qatar.

The American Petroleum Institute announced the publication of its Guide for Developing an Unmanned Aircraft Systems Program, which will help ensure worker and operational safety as the industry introduces drones in its operations.

The US Environmental Protection Agency recently finalized a voluntary disclosure program for new owners of upstream oil and gas facilities designed to encourage them to find, correct, and self-report violations of the Clean Air Act, in particular those associated with emissions from storage vessels.

The algorithms for running AI applications have been so big that they’ve required powerful machines in the cloud and data centers, making many applications less useful on smartphones and other edge devices. Now, that concern is quickly melting away, thanks to a series of recent breakthroughs.

This paper describes a path to general artificial intelligence (AI) (i.e., AI that is as smart or smarter than humans) based on the trend in machine learning that hand-designed solutions eventually are replaced by more-effective, learned solutions.

Operators are looking for ways to better handle water coming from subsea wells, which is typically treated at topside facilities. Subsea separation systems are not equipped to discharge water back into the reservoir, so how do companies close the gaps?

The three largest service companies are optimistic about the rest of 2019.
