Demand is growing at the University of Houston and others from students who want to study data science; from researchers who produce, interpret, or otherwise work with reams of data; and from industry, which needs a data science-savvy workforce.

With the purchase, the growing, privately-held Chrysaor Holdings will expand its UK North Sea production to 185,000 BOE/D.

With new digital platforms and technologies driving the industry in the near future, organizations are examining the ways in which their established work flows may help or hinder their ability to adopt and adapt.

Pictures shot in fractured wells show how a high-pressure slurry of water and sand carves up the perforations.

Sourcing water for hydraulic fracturing, and disposing of produced water, are constraints and significant cost items in the Permian Basin. Some of the produced water can be treated and reused by using a water life cycle approach..
