Data & Analytics
Canada’s development of large-scale digital drilling core libraries and open geoscience data platforms follows approaches pioneered in Australia, particularly Western Australia, through decades of government investment in geoscience data collection and preservation.
This research focuses on combining physics-based expert rules with machine learning to improve the detection of failure-related events in electrical submersible pumps.
A combination of physics principles and machine-learning techniques is used in this work to develop a virtual flowmeter for oil-production optimization in electrical-submersible-pump-lifted oil wells, resulting in reliable generalization.

Permian Basin producer Callon Petroleum is attributing its data-driven approach to a routine completions practice to improved proppant placement and higher oil production. -
Developments in the emerging technologies of unmanned vehicles are leading to new land, sea, and air applications in the oil and gas industry.
-
The oil and gas industry has a lot to gain from the adoption of big data analytics as recently highlighted examples from major service company Halliburton demonstrate.
-
The application of high-precision downhole temperature sensors has resulted in pressure-transient analysis (PTA) being complemented or replaced by temperature-transient analysis (TTA).
-
A closer look at recent unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) regulations and sensor technologies shows the areas in which they could have a major impact on oil and gas projects in the future.
-
Through data gathering, machine learning, and the use of a supercomputer, a non-profit organization in Texas is seeking to boost oil and gas production on land owned by the states’ two largest university systems.
-
Changes coming to the anonymity tools underlying the darknet may make a deeper kind of online privacy possible. Soon anyone will be able to create their own corner of the Internet that’s not just anonymous and untraceable, but entirely undiscoverable without an invite.
-
Over the past year, various institutions and organizations—both domestic and international—have shown an interest in moving the increasingly prevalent cybersecurity conversation offshore.
-
Hackers have gotten smarter and bolder in their recent attempts to steal coveted oil company data. Mario Chiock has worked for years to keep them at bay.
-
Various industry experts discussed the progress of an initiative led by SPE and BSEE to develop a safety data-sharing framework to help mitigate potential risk in operations.
