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.
This paper presents the deployment of an artificial intelligence-enabled autonomous gas lift optimization system, integrating real-time centralized advanced process control with cloud-based analytics to enhance artificial gas lift performance in producer wells.

One of the more significant benefits of drones in the field to date has been their ability to improve safety in the field. -
As shale plays are becoming economically viable, operators have fast-adopted best practices to optimize drilling and completion processes to drive down the lifting costs. Adoption of data-driven analytics to improve completion design, drive efficiency, and yield economic gains has been less swift.
