Data & Analytics
This article explores how AI is transforming oil and gas operations, including its real impact on methane reduction, predictive maintenance, energy efficiency, and whether it truly delivers measurable sustainability gains or just adds complexity.
AI is evolving into a practical tool that helps geoscientists and engineers work faster, evaluate more opportunities, and manage subsurface uncertainty.
Digital drilling technologies are enabling a shift toward more predictive, efficient, and sustainable operations.

The oil and gas industry has a lot to gain from the adoption of big data analytics as recently highlighted examples from major service company Halliburton demonstrate. -
Through data gathering, machine learning, and the use of a supercomputer, a non-profit organization in Texas is seeking to boost oil and gas production on land owned by the states’ two largest university systems.
-
A look at the universities, startups, and multinational corporations in Silicon Valley, California, which are applying data science and predictive modeling for oilfield management.
-
The oil and gas industry is facing an invasion of data analytics startups who saw a wide-open gap in the market a few years ago when talk of big data first began.
-
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.
-
Researchers at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, Scotland, are building replica core samples using 3D printers and installing sensors inside them as they go. Their goal is to directly monitor pore-scale flow behavior from the inside of these so-called “smart rocks.”
-
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.
