Data & Analytics
This commentary by the chair of the SPE Data Science and Engineering Analytics Technical Section examines how AI is reshaping petroleum engineering careers, highlighting growing risks to entry‑level training, judgment development, and the future pipeline of subject-matter experts in high‑consequence industries.
Lean Six Sigma, through its DMAIC framework, offers a data‑driven approach for reducing waste and variation in oil and gas operations and is explored here as a practical solution for improving drill-bit inventory and lease management despite limited industry adoption.
The 2-day event will explore the evolving role of quantum computing in oil and gas applications.

SPE is excited to livestream these thought-provoking and informative Tech Talks from the SPE Energy Stream studio at the SPE Annual Technology Conference and Exhibition, 23–25 September, in New Orleans. -
As AI continues to evolve, the need for energy-powered data centers is on the rise. Data center developers who can make this transition toward a more efficient and greener system will anchor themselves as key players in this growing industry.
-
The industry is balancing brains and bots as it squeezes out barrels of oil production.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.

Register today for the SPE AI Hackathon taking place 7–9 May in Dubai.
-
The Unmanned Technical Section has updated its name to the Robotics and Autonomous Systems Technical Section.
-
The oil and gas industry’s sustainability and success depend on its ability to cultivate and nurture a skilled and knowledgeable workforce.
