Reservoir
A report commissioned by Havtil, the Norwegian Ocean Industry Authority, calls for better dialogue regarding pore-pressure uncertainty and higher-end drilling techniques like managed pressure drilling as methods to reduce the risk of well-control events.
The events will be co-located 3–5 May 2027 at Reliant Park in Houston, Texas.
This work describes a study in which distributed data parallel training, paired with a node-local caching pipeline, enabled efficient multigraphics-processing-unit scaling for a CO₂-storage graph-neural-network surrogate while maintaining generalization.
