AI/machine learning
This paper introduces an agentic artificial-intelligence framework designed for offshore production surveillance and intervention.
In the past year, publications on CO2, natural gas, and hydrogen storage have increasingly focused on the design, evaluation, and optimization of storage plans. These efforts encompass a broad spectrum of challenges and innovations, including the expansion of storage reservoirs from depleted gas fields and saline aquifers to stratified carbonate formations and heavy-o…
Reaching further than dashboards and data lakes, the agentic oil field envisions artificial intelligence systems that reason, act, and optimize.

Artificial intelligence has come to the oil patch, accelerating a technical change that is transforming the conditions for the oil and gas industry’s 150,000 US workers. -
Researchers borrowed equations from calculus to redesign the core machinery of deep learning so it can model continuous processes like changes in health.

An increasingly buzzy term tossed around at industry events, “digital twin” is leveraging data analytics, machine learning, and artificial intelligence to improve efficiencies from design to decommissioning.

As shale plays are becoming economically viable, operators have fast-adopted best practices to optimize drilling and completion processes to drive down the lifting costs. Adoption of data-driven analytics to improve completion design, drive efficiency, and yield economic gains has been less swift.

Digitalization in the oil and gas industry has been the focus of much discussion, but little has been written on the slow rate of adoption. This paper outlines some of the barriers the industry faces as it assimilates into Industry 4.0—automation and data integration in manufacturing.

A new detection and alerting methodology, validated on more than 100 North America onshore wells, blends well information and real-time data to determine a probabilistic belief system. An operator used the system to detect, predict, and alert rig crews to washouts and pump failures.
