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.
After years of market shocks, technological breakthroughs, and rising uncertainty, ATCE 2026 will provide new insights on how industry leaders and technical experts are preparing for the next era of the upstream business.
This research focuses on combining physics-based expert rules with machine learning to improve the detection of failure-related events in electrical submersible pumps.
-
The paper describes the hardware and user interface, the procedures for installation and acquisition, and several examples of field data and well-performance analysis for a variety of rod-pumping installations. -
Downhole instrumentation of the Khazzan tight gas appraisal wells provides a rare opportunity to quantify reservoir pressure and temperature dynamics.
-
For the planning of an enhanced-oil-recovery (EOR) project in a major mature oil field in east Malaysia, an extensive routine-core-analysis (RCA) and special-core-analysis (SCAL) program has been performed on unconsolidated clastic reservoir rocks.
-
At the recent Unconventional Resources Technical Conference in Denver, a direct measurement of what is downhole was a theme of new products offered to operators who see the need for more data on what is working, what is not working, and what could be made to work better.
-
Saudi Aramco is on a mission to increase the amount of seismic data that it collects by fourfold, while reducing costs and acquisition time by half of what it spends today.
-
This paper describes field experiences and perspectives on a Smart Fields implementation for the Bonga deepwater field and uses the results of a post-implementation study to evaluate the business effects and lessons learned after 5 years.
-
The world’s first offshore gas-hydrate production was carried out successfully in deepwater Japan at Nankai trough in 2013.
-
This paper presents a new approach in monitoring the hydraulic system and in the recognition of well‑control events at an early stage such that proper counteractions can be initiated before any damage occurs.
-
It has been an impressive comeback for a technology that once stood on the brink of failure. The upstream oil and gas industry has largely resolved crippling technical challenges that shortened the life of fiber-optic cables in downhole applications and is now working on a big encore.
-
The benefits of modern industrial control systems have never been greater. A baseline system security image, as a start, allows a vessel owner or operator to understand the security risks.
