An operator has redefined onsite operations reporting through the development of a standardized set of reporting activity codes as the backbone of a standardized digital well-design and execution process.

As the announcement of carbon sequestration projects becomes the norm, it’s time we look at what we know from a technical angle about how these projects need to be run based on the industry’s experience with enhanced oil recovery.

The paper describes the experience of using a machine-learning model prepared by the ensemble method to prevent stuck-pipe events during well construction in extended-reach wells.

With aggressive net-zero goals hanging overhead, countries are looking to fast-track low-carbon energy projects, and many are including nuclear in the mix.

Drilling automation champions met to identify where this emerging technology needs to be by the end of the decade. What they ended up agreeing on most was that the business models used today are largely incompatible with the technology of the future.

This paper describes a successful U-turn trajectory test in South Texas that has created new economic project opportunities for the company and increased optionality within challenged lease spaces across the field.

Capitalizing on technology that originated with NASA delivers savings on directional drilling operations.

A pilot application using computer vision technology has been created to count and measure the pipe entering the wellbore and detect personnel movement in the red zone during pipe-delivery operations.

Seven years, and we’re on track to exceed the 1.5°C target established by the Paris Agreement in 2015 to limit global warming by 2030. Instead, we may be turning up the heat to 3.0°C. And in this case, doubling the wager does not hold potential for greater rewards. A recent report addressed the costs of technologies for emissions mitigation and their likelihood of mak…

A team of engineers did something no one had done before: a full-scale fracturing test on the surface. The results surprised the fracturing experts involved.

This paper presents a screenout-classification system based on Gaussian hidden Markov models that predicts screenouts and provides early warning.

This paper discusses the results of driller stress tests and the implementation of a system that assists the operator in kick detection, space out, and preparation for well shut-in.
