Data mining/analysis
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 authors make the case that data science captures value in well construction when data-analysis methods, such as machine learning, are underpinned by first principles derived from physics and engineering and supported by deep domain expertise.

If design A yields the same 90-day production at 10% lower cost in a series of wells than design B wells, is design A the better one? Using pressure-based fracture measurements, the separability of variables between two completion designs can be evaluated. -
For the upstream industry, where improvement in efficiency or production can drive significant financial results, there is no question that the size of the digital prize is huge. So are the challenges.
