Reaching further than dashboards and data lakes, the agentic oil field envisions artificial intelligence systems that reason, act, and optimize.
In the past year, publications on CO2, natural gas, and hydrogen storage have increasingly focused on the design, evaluation, and optimization of storage plans. These efforts encompass a broad spectrum of challenges and innovations, including the expansion of storage reservoirs from depleted gas fields and saline aquifers to stratified carbonate formations and heavy-o…
This paper presents a robust workflow to identify optimization opportunities in gas lift wells through real-time data analysis and a surveillance-by-exception methodology.
