On long-term trends, most things in the world are getting better, but gradual improvements don't make the news.
Subsurface modeling and history matching are critical steps for driving decisions. Generative artificial intelligence can support these efforts by incorporating various sources of information and allowing for low-dimensional parameterization for history matching.
TWA editors met with Satyam Priyadarshy, a technology fellow and chief data scientist at Halliburton, about how young professionals can prepare themselves for the application of data science in their work and how to approach problems and challenges.

A newcomer in the arena of oilfield market research has set an ambitiously high bar for itself: to speed up the oil and gas industry’s widely acknowledged and painfully slow rate of technology adoption. -
The use of intelligent software is on the rise in the industry and it is changing how engineers approach problems. A series of articles explores the potential benefits and limitations of this emerging area of data science.

Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) have demonstrated their capabilities during the search for Malaysian Airlines flight 370 in the Indian Ocean.
-
In an effort to foster collaboration in an area where there is currently very little, researchers at the University of Texas at Austin (UT) created a new web-based application for storing and sharing CT images of rocks.

Cyber threats have expanded beyond data breaches and the theft of intellectual property. Drilling and production assets are at risk of being disrupted or destroyed due to vulnerable control systems.
-
Case studies from around the world prove that big rewards await companies that optimize the artificial lift systems keeping their mature fields alive. The success stories involve a mix of monitoring, automation, and performance tracking.

Saudi Aramco is on a mission to increase the amount of seismic data that it collects by fourfold, while reducing costs and acquisition time by half of what it spends today.
-
It has been an impressive comeback for a technology that once stood on the brink of failure. The upstream oil and gas industry has largely resolved crippling technical challenges that shortened the life of fiber-optic cables in downhole applications and is now working on a big encore.
-
Some of the world’s largest exploration and production companies say the big bets they have placed on high-performance computing over the past several years are set to pay off.
