  • Fig. 1—Illustration of the WHP-optimization process. Only valid, shallow-anomaly-free gridded WHP candidates are considered for pairing with subsurface targets. The illustration compares two scenarios, using two or three WHPs as targets. The selection of WHPs in each combination varies so that the suggested WHP bundle yields the highest degree of target reachability.

    Deep-Learning Technique Optimizes Sequestration, Oil Production in CCUS Projects
    Optimization of water-alternating-gas (WAG) processes is critical for maximizing both oil recovery and carbon-sequestration efficiency in CO2 enhanced oil recovery (EOR) projects. Conventional optimization using simulation models can be cumbersome because of the vast design space and high uncertainty. In this study, a deep-learning model, the temporal fusion transform…

    Data Science, Analytics, and Artificial Intelligence
    Are we in an AI bubble? The question may seem academic to petroleum engineers who are already capitalizing on the momentum of digitalization across the industry, yet any engineer, regardless of their career stage, could be forgiven for feeling overwhelmed by the sheer scope of specialized skills now demanded in this rapidly evolving digital landscape.
