AI/machine learning
This article is the third in a Q&A series from the SPE Research and Development Technical Section focusing on emerging energy technologies. In this piece, Zikri Bayraktar, a senior machine learning engineer with SLB’s Software Technology and Innovation Center, discusses the expanding use of artificial intelligence in the upstream sector.
This article presents a results-driven case study from an ongoing collaboration between a midstream oil and gas company and Neuralix Inc.
As carbon capture scales up worldwide, the real challenge lies deep underground—where smart reservoir management determines whether CO₂ stays put for good.

Large geological models are needed for modeling the subsurface processes in geothermal, carbon-storage, and hydrocarbon reservoirs. The size of these models contributes to the computational cost of history matching, engineering optimization, and forecasting. To reduce this cost, low-dimensional representations need to be extracted. Deep-learning tools, such as autoenc…
