Data mining/analysis
Over decades of exploration and production, the oil and gas sector has accumulated vast amounts of legacy data in various formats. Artificial intelligence and machine learning present an opportunity to transform how this unstructured data is processed and used, enabling significant improvements in operational efficiency and decision-making.
A roundtable discussion during CERAWeek pointed to the necessity of a mindset shift for the oil and gas industry to tap into AI’s true potential.
Technology and partnerships play a pivotal role in how the oil industry finds and produces energy from frontier regions and brownfields, both now and in the future.

The difficulty in applying traditional reservoir-simulation and -modeling techniques for unconventional-reservoir forecasting is often related to the systematic time variations in production-decline rates. This paper proposes a nonparametric statistical approach to resolve this difficulty.
-
The oil and gas industry is facing an invasion of data analytics startups who saw a wide-open gap in the market a few years ago when talk of big data first began.
-
A newcomer in the arena of oilfield market research has set an ambitiously high bar for itself: to speed up the oil and gas industry’s widely acknowledged and painfully slow rate of technology adoption.
