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.
This study demonstrates the transformative potential of physics-informed neural networks as a hybrid framework for multiphase flow measurement.
-
There is a lot of information buried in drilling reports written every day, but little of it appears in computer databases. -
There is talk about digital oil fields and big data and some striking examples of their power. But in real oil fields, a lot of operators are still running fields with systems relying on big paper.
-
With more wells to check than tools and time to do so, a methodology to predict wells with the highest risk of corrosion was developed.
-
A project to predict how much carbon dioxide injected into an oil field is likely to remain there forever set off the US Department of Energy (DOE) on a search for faster data analysis methods.
-
A new intelligent model that successfully learns from high-dimensional data and effectively identifies high-production areas and optimum lateral-re-entry candidates is presented.
-
For thin-oil-rim reservoirs, well placement, type and path, and well-completion methods, should be evaluated with close integration of key reservoir- and production-engineering considerations.
-
Artificial-intelligence (AI) -based methods have become mainstream engineering, and we as practitioners need to have a firm understanding of the principles and be ready to apply them when the opportunities arise.
-
Al Khalij field offshore Qatar is formed of a highly heterogeneous carbonate reservoir with significant remaining dynamic uncertainties.
-
Betsy Woudenberg examined recent incidents and described how the oil and gas industry can develop the culture needed to combat cyber espionage in her SPE Digital Energy Technical Section presentation.
-
For openhole horizontal wells, providing power and data through an umbilical is very challenging.
