Digital drilling technologies are enabling a shift toward more predictive, efficient, and sustainable operations.
Breakthroughs in energy, similar to those seen in AI, require coordinated progress across multiple fields and the resolution of structural bottlenecks. As a result, a successful energy transition depends on integrated advances in infrastructure, policy, technology, and investment rather than isolated efforts.
The Genesis Mission is a US Department of Energy initiative that integrates AI, national labs, and cross-sector collaboration to accelerate scientific discovery, strengthen energy innovation, and enhance national security.

Well-interference issues can be hard to diagnose, but this startup may be figuring that out. The data-driven process it developed can also help operators come up with more effective ways to use diverters. -
Hundreds of rod-lift wells in North Dakota are about to get a big upgrade.
-
A recent research effort has shown that the digital journey is full of stumbling blocks. Just like humans, advanced computing technology will get some things right and some things wrong.
-
The company behind the world’s most popular search engine is trying to click with the upstream business at the most distinguished technical event of the year.
-
Venture groups spend their time evaluating hundreds of companies each year to only make a handful of investments. These two cover interesting ends of the upstream spectrum: aerial drones and downhole artificial lift.
-
Acquiring data from an abandoned subsea well has been done before, but never quite like this.
-
Wearable computers are turning heads in the oil and gas industry and appear to be on a trajectory for widespread adoption.
-
Data story consumers are focused on summarized results and highlights instead of details of the analysis. It’s a data scientist’s responsibility to identify the significance of the data and to present it in a simple but scientific manner.
-
R&D may be the key to the survival of companies as the new economics of the industry take hold.
-
Tiny soil samples may contain as many as 300,000 species of microbial life, but a Netherlands-based startup has figured out that between 50 and 200 of them can tell an operator if a drilling location will hold oil and gas reserves.
