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.

Unstructured data, such as process logs, safety reports, and public records, make up the bulk of data produced from the oil field. Emerging NLP technology has been designed to help make sense of this data, enabling better insights into near-accidents. -
DNV GL has published a paper to support the safe use of artificial intelligence. The paper asserts that data-driven models alone may not be sufficient to ensure safety and calls for a combination of data and causal models to mitigate risk.

Machine learning and artificial intelligence technology offer offshore operators the chance to automate high-cost, error-prone tasks to avoid the effects of inconsistency and errors in analysis, improving efficiencies and safety.
-
Technologies are being developed that have the potential to support marine mining in all stages from prospection to decommissioning. These developments will likely have substantial influence in the oil and gas industry, itself searching for ways to maximize exploitation of assets.

Hundreds of rod-lift wells in North Dakota are about to get a big upgrade.
-
A recent research effort has shown that the digital journey is full of stumbling blocks. Just like humans, advanced computing technology will get some things right and some things wrong.
-
The company behind the world’s most popular search engine is trying to click with the upstream business at the most distinguished technical event of the year.
-
The perceived change stemming from the spread of machine learning and artificial intelligence can feed alarming predictions about massive job losses, but replacement of humans is a low priority among organizations implementing these technologies.
