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.

From optimizing drilling performance to enhancing worker safety, computer vision can change how the industry works. -
The authors make the case that data science captures value in well construction when data-analysis methods, such as machine learning, are underpinned by first principles derived from physics and engineering and supported by deep domain expertise.
-
In this paper, the authors propose a regression machine-learning model to predict stick/slip severity index using sequences of surface measurements.
-
A recent survey conducted by Rackspace Technology reveals new attitudes about using the cloud, including a change from using the public cloud to using private, on-site clouds or a hybrid of the two.
-
This study examines the implementation of a predictive maintenance method using artificial intelligence and machine learning for offshore rotating production-critical equipment. Conducted over 2 years at Murphy Oil’s deepwater platforms in the Gulf of Mexico, the project aimed to detect equipment issues early, reduce downtime, and streamline maintenance processes.

Moving from use cases to enterprisewide AI is more than a technology challenge. It requires anchoring on value, feedback, and innovation.
-
This paper focuses on the vital task of identifying bypassed oil and locating the remaining oil in mature fields, emphasizing the significance of these activities in sustaining efficient oilfield exploitation.
-
This paper tests several commercial large language models for information-retrieval tasks for drilling data using zero-shot, in-context learning.
-
The objective of this study is to develop an explainable data-driven method using five different methods to create a model using a multidimensional data set with more than 700 rows of data for predicting minimum miscibility pressure.
-
In this study, artificial-intelligence techniques are used to estimate and predict well status in offshore areas using a combination of surface and subsurface parameters.
