Data & Analytics
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.

This paper demonstrates the viability of a production-data-classification approach adapted from real-time face detection for identifying restimulation candidates. -
BP has invested more than $100 million into nine different startup companies in the past 2 years—but only one of them wants to turn your brain into a piece of its software.
-
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.
-
Predicting the trajectory of a satellite, or a well, requires sophisticated analysis to reduce the huge uncertainties. That adds to the many things drillers should be thinking about, which can be overwhelming.
-
What does industry need to create successful ecosystems in a new digital reality? While companies identify and implement new technologies to streamline their operations, a greater focus on new cultures, skill sets, and mindsets may be necessary.
-
Companies such as Google, Schlumberger, Shell, and Encana are working to turn the industry’s rat’s nest of data into a goldmine of insight, analysis, and technology.
-
Strides made in data analytics over the past few years have been huge. But the complexity of data, and understanding how to use them, can delay the advantages to be gained. If the benefits and methodology of data acquisition are not better explained to engineers, might implementation suffer?
-
These days, it is all about digital. Click to find out what industry leaders from Encana, Google, Schlumberger, and Shell have to say about the ongoing transformation towards data-driven profitability.
-
Cybersecurity means understanding systems, processes, and personnel capabilities and limitations, as well as thoroughly evaluating the threat landscape.
-
The same tools that make it fun and easy for you to see a friend's updates online are also pretty good at tying together unconnected databases holding valuable well information.
