Drilling
The project with ExxonMobil used closed-loop drilling and digital well-construction technologies.
ExxonMobil's Jason Gahr uses the five stages of grief to explain how the upstream industry should respond to the rise of AI.
A multidimensional Wiener process approach predicts casing remaining useful life, enabling safe, cost-effective well life extension and repurposing for carbon dioxide injection, CCS, and geothermal applications.

This paper presents an approach for automatic daily-drilling-report classification that incorporates new techniques of artificial intelligence. -
The authors of this paper present the results of implementing a rig-automation solution applied to 20 wells in Ecuador in 2022.
-
The oilfield service giant said it has taken another big step toward fully autonomous drilling operations in its latest project offshore Brazil.
-
The companies have integrated their platforms in an effort to increase flexibility and interoperability.
-
The authors of this paper describe a project in which Raleigh frequency-shift distributed strain sensing monitored during production in a far-field observation well was translated to an estimated pressure profile.
-
Typically, oil and gas producing wells are abandoned toward the end of their life cycles with reservoir pressures depleted compared with the virgin pressures. Carbon capture and storage projects, however, present different operating conditions.

SponsoredWith more surface facilities and infrastructure in oil and gas fields, well casing integrity is becoming an even bigger challenge. This article sheds light on the optimum way to deal with the increasing casing integrity challenges in the Middle East through field monitoring and time-lapse casing-integrity and corrosion-inspection logging.

The well was spudded from the new Azeri Central East platform in the giant ACG field in the Caspian Sea.
-
This paper describes an 18-month intensive continuous improvement process between an operator, a rig contractor, and bottomhole-assembly (BHA) service providers aimed at reducing BHAs per well in two Oklahoma rigs.
-
This paper presents the study, resulting recommendations, and a proposed change in standard bottomhole-assembly configurations to reduce service-quality-compromising incidents and productive time lost from jar twistoffs.
