Drilling

The authors of this paper present an autonomous directional-drilling framework built on intelligent planning and execution capabilities and supported by surface and downhole automation technologies.

The authors of this paper discuss a global rate-of-penetration machine-learning model with the potential to eliminate learning curves and reduce time and costs associated with developing a new model for every field.

The authors of this paper describe a project that demonstrated the feasibility of using deep-learning and machine-learning approaches to introduce camera-based solids monitoring to the drilling industry.

Chevron is "encouraged and excited" after drilling its first successful exploration well in the Eastern Mediterranean block.

The company said it expects the software to enable greater standardization for its well and drilling teams in the well planning and well delivery process, improve communication and automation, and increase transparency of project-related risks and costs.

Moving into 2023, perhaps it will be safe to say that the era of the low-carbon energy mix has begun as the primary energy production landscape is changing fast. Until now, fossils fuels have dominated, and may still for the next few years dominate, the energy mix; however, a shift is taking place that will gain momentum, driven by global efforts toward addressing cli…
