The oil and gas industry is facing an invasion of data analytics startups who saw a wide-open gap in the market a few years ago when talk of big data first began.

A newcomer in the arena of oilfield market research has set an ambitiously high bar for itself: to speed up the oil and gas industry’s widely acknowledged and painfully slow rate of technology adoption.

The use of intelligent software is on the rise in the industry and it is changing how engineers approach problems. A series of articles explores the potential benefits and limitations of this emerging area of data science.

The US rig count has inched up recently, and the driver has been the old reliable of onshore oil production, the Permian Basin. With surging production, the Permian is the only major US oil shale play to grow since crude prices began to fall.

At NASA, the qualitative approach to risk assessment is augmented by a quantitative technique to mitigate low-probability, high-consequence outcomes.

Techniques for well-abandonment log evaluations have been studied in the Gulf of Mexico since 2012. The new methods described in this paper consist of adding nuclear sensors to supplement the acoustic measurements and introduce novel processing methods.

The first brief flight at Kitty Hawk in 1903 did not immediately make the Wright brothers famous; however, within 5 years, enthusiasm for the new technology began to spread around the world. Louis Blériot won a prize for flying over the English Channel in a heavier-than-air craft in 1909, and Charles Lindbergh won the USD 25,000 Orteig prize for the first nonstop flig…

Horizontal shale wells present the challenge of generating large, high-density fracture networks, reflecting the sub-microdarcy permeability of the formations drilled by these wells.

A number of research projects awarded by the Research Partnership to Secure Energy for America, with funding and oversight by the United States Department of Energy’s National Energy Technology Laboratory, have shown solid potential to advance deepwater and ultradeepwater oil and gas development.
