Production
Unlike traditional AI approaches that rely primarily on historical data, physics-based AI integrates physical laws, engineering expertise, and operational constraints directly into the learning process. Three recent SPE papers illustrate how this paradigm is transforming the industry through intelligent condition monitoring, virtual sensing, and autonomous production …
This research focuses on combining physics-based expert rules with machine learning to improve the detection of failure-related events in electrical submersible pumps.
A combination of physics principles and machine-learning techniques is used in this work to develop a virtual flowmeter for oil-production optimization in electrical-submersible-pump-lifted oil wells, resulting in reliable generalization.

It seems that it has been a very productive period for production and facilities. I reviewed a significant number of abstracts on such an interesting variety of topics—new technology developments down- and midstream, improvements in corrosion detection and prediction, new systems for emulsion monitoring, and even downhole drones. -
Cemvita and ChampionX are launching a pilot project next year to turn an old oil field into one that may yield tons of hydrogen each day.

SponsoredThe Wyoming Gas Injection Initiative (WGII) makes available $22 million of matching funds from the State of Wyoming to implement, in close collaboration with oil and gas operators and Dow, multiple field pilot projects in the State of Wyoming. The Initiative will fund projects over a 3- to 5-year period to support developments with significant potential to enhance wel…
