Explore how data science has become essential across diverse sectors, how people can learn about data science, and how engineers can transition into this field.

A 2D model of catenary trajectory design is presented. The solutions of the catenary design are in closed form and do not demand thorough numerical estimations. A traditional arc well design is also included to compare the hookload with the catenary trajectory well design.

This article provides an overview of common damage caused by vibrations, the most prominent vibration modes, mitigation methods, and design principles used to diminish vibration effects.

The oil and gas industry is one of the few examples on a global scale of how the need for further production improvement pushes professionals to customize existing models. Physical models are often reworked in order to expand their use in various industries. This article examines ten equations that help drive the petroleum industry.

In the final part of this three-part series, we extend our learning of Part 2 to the multivariate model and train a single model to predict three outcomes: oil, gas, and water.

This article evaluates the geomechanical impacts of depleting and repressurizing such gas reservoirs, while proposing laboratory measurements to enhance understanding of geomechanics.

This article focuses on the introduction of one of the flow-network-based models called GPSNet that has growing popularity in the literature and shows promising results during our proof-of-concept applications.

In Part 2 of this three-part series, we dive into a practical example using the production data of Equinor’s Volve field data set.

In Part 1 of this three-part series, we use long short-term memory (LSTM), a machine learning technique, to predict oil, gas, and water production using real field data.

This article takes a deep dive into the challenges of leak detection and repair strategies, as well as delving into some of the solutions that can help companies increase efficiencies, minimize waste, and ensure environmentally friendly operations.
