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.

SPYDR, MetaRock team up with Pioneer Natural Resources for a pilot program in the Permian Basin to test real-time fluid monitoring. -
The two companies have agreed to team up so their most-valued drilling-automation programs can be used together easily. The relationship has shined a bright light on drilling automation.

Fluid identification, a critical process in fluid sampling, continues to be a challenge in temperatures above 350°F. At temperatures up to 450°F, fluid identification is currently achieved by bubblepoint and compressibility measurements, which cannot quantitatively measure contamination levels of the sample fluid. A possible solution involves using pyroelectric detect…
