AI/machine learning
As carbon capture scales up worldwide, the real challenge lies deep underground—where smart reservoir management determines whether CO₂ stays put for good.
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.

Increasing accuracy in models is often obtained through the first steps of data transformations. This guide explains the difference between the key feature-scaling methods of standardization and normalization and demonstrates when and how to apply each approach. -
Researchers have created software that borrows concepts from Darwinian evolution, including “survival of the fittest,” to build AI programs that improve generation after generation without human input.

There is often an assumption that big data, together with machine learning, will solve whatever problems asset-heavy industries such as oil and gas face. This is not the case; big data alone isn’t enough. We need something else to solve these problems, and the answer lies in the world of physics.

The AI journey starts with a single step, but too many companies take the wrong first step.
-
AltaML has announced a partnership with engineering and design firm Kleinfelder in which the two companies will pair 3D reality scans of facilities with artificial intelligence to look for potential problems and risks.
-
When the field emerged at the end of the 20th century, it was hoped that computers would be able to operate on their own, with human-like abilities—a capability known as generalized AI.
-
As deep learning matures and moves from the hype peak to its trough of disillusionment, it is becoming clear that it is missing some fundamental components.
-
For the upstream industry, where improvement in efficiency or production can drive significant financial results, there is no question that the size of the digital prize is huge. So are the challenges.
-
Modeling immensely complex natural phenomena such as how subatomic particles interact or how atmospheric haze affects climate can take hours on even the fastest supercomputers. Now, work posted online shows how AI can easily produce emulators that can accelerate simulations by billions of times.

The chip is less than 4.5 mm across and weighs less than 2 oz. Nonetheless, it is pushing the power of artificial intelligence to the edge.
