With the latest addition, the Italian major’s computational capacity passes the exaflop threshold, making the firm the world’s leading company by computing power in the new TOP500 global ranking.
This paper presents a novel reservoir engineering/reservoir simulation approach—a data-driven interwell-connectivity model augmented as a digital twin—to predict reservoir dynamics and optimize operations in the Changqing oil field of China.
This work uses a novel pseudosteady-state-based simulation to reduce training-data-generation cost while maintaining high-performance predictions of data-driven proxy models for carbon-sequestration projects.

It would literally be a world full of data centers, including the largest and the smallest varieties. But whose networks would they be? The answer depends on where these data centers are—or perhaps vice versa. -
The threat of cyberattacks on physical infrastructure, such as the electric grid and oil and gas pipelines, is a real concern in our contemporary world. Recent research states that cyberattacks will cost approximately $6 trillion annually by 2021.

To provide condition monitoring and combat fouling, the robot clings and moves along the hull walls. It is controlled via a 4G connection to clean and inspect the walls in line with individual vessel schedules developed through a proprietary algorithm and big data.

Industrial blockchain network Data Gumbo has facilitated real-time tracking of lease operating expenses for oil and gas operators by using validated field-operating data to trigger automated payments based on agreed terms.
-
The agreement will use IBM’s hybrid-cloud technology and Red Hat’s OpenShift platform to expand access to Schlumberger’s Delfi exploration and production software suite.

After 2 years of testing, Shell is going all in on using high-flying technology to catch methane leaks to reduce its overall emissions to less than 1%.

The oil and gas industry has a new Spindletop, and it’s nowhere near being capped. In this data boom, the industry is up to its neck in petabytes of data, generating thousands of terabytes per day, with the volumes doubling every 12–18 months, and using less than 5% of it for decision making.
-
The engineering simulation firm announced the successful deployment of a complete structural digital twin for Shell’s Bonga floating production, storage, and offloading vessel 120 km southwest of the Niger Delta in Nigeria.

The complete paper describes the development of the “digital field worker” at Johan Sverdrup, an initiative that has changed the approach toward not only construction and completion but also operations.
