The emerging vision is an industry where engineers focus on judgment, risk assessments, and accountability.
This paper presents the large-scale deployment and operational integration of an advanced, automated rheometer in the Ghawar gas field, one of the world’s most prolific and technically complex hydrocarbon developments.
Case studies from Devon Energy, ConocoPhillips, and others show how clever engineering and technology are being used to improve recovery and asset value.

Norway’s oil and gas major, Equinor, made headlines in October 2018 following its launch of the world’s first fully automated wellhead platform, the Oseberg H. Here, Claudia Jarrett, US country manager of parts supplier EU Automation, explains the challenges of unmanned automation in oil and gas. -
The American Petroleum Institute announced the publication of its Guide for Developing an Unmanned Aircraft Systems Program, which will help ensure worker and operational safety as the industry introduces drones in its operations.

The 21st century oil and gas industry thrives on hardcore computing power, crunching data derived from seismic testing to find oil deep in the ground and below the sea. Now, an Australian company will fire up a digital behemoth in a data center near the Houston suburb.
-
Studies conducted through collaboration between an operator that knows the physical reality and a data-science company that knows the best machine-learning methods yield good practical results.
-
Arundo Analytics has built an integrated industrial Internet of things platform that allows data scientists to productize data-science solutions and accelerate feedback/improvement iterations between end-users and data scientists effectively.

Some 3,000 people and counting intrigued by UK oil and gas data have signed up for access to the country’s new National Data Repository. What motivated the OGA to make the data available to the public, and what can the public do with the data?
-
Vast amounts of offshore and onshore reliability data will be made available as the project by the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate provides access to its now-digital data in an effort to improve accessibility and efficiency for oil and gas industry reliability data.
-
Microsoft announced three new services that aim to simplify the process of machine learning—an interface for a tool that automates the process of creating models; a new no-code visual interface for building, training, and deploying models; and hosted Jupyter-style notebooks for advanced users.
