The emerging vision is an industry where engineers focus on judgment, risk assessments, and accountability.
Novel lift systems, AI-driven automation, and real-time engineering models are helping operators extract more value from mature wells.
This case study from Tomax outlines the use of artificial intelligence to analyze high-fidelity data of the full drilling process.

At Equinor’s giant new North Sea oil field, thousands of sensors feed into Data Gumbo’s novel blockchain platform—encoding an immutable record of operations, the better to automate contracts, pay vendors, and (in the not too distant future) even measure carbon emissions. -
Shell, C3 AI, Baker Hughes, and Microsoft have teamed up to launch the Open AI Energy Initiative platform that is designed to present AI-based reliability applications to improve operational efficiency.

Murphy Oil has created a work flow to normalize the tags it uses when collecting data on its hydraulic fracturing stages. The work flow described here empowers decision makers, who no longer wait for hours to collect data or waste hours cleaning and preparing data for analysis.
-
Aberdeen Renewable Energy Group and the European Space Agency have signed a memorandum of intent to analyze, develop, and implement space-enabled technology and services to support the renewable energy sector.
-
With such uses as tracking the source of renewable energy and changing the relationship between how energy is produced and consumed, blockchain has the potential to transform the way companies collaborate and interact to accelerate the development of low-carbon energy.

How can the famous Casino-inspired trick for data science, statistics, and all of science be done in Python?
-
Over the years, I’ve noticed interesting cultural differences between industrial sectors in their approach to dealing with staff software training. Here, I’ll try to synthesize them into a major insight and expound on the implications.
