Digital Transformation
Artificial intelligence is transforming—not replacing—petroleum engineering. As AI-driven, data-centric methods replace traditional deterministic models, engineers must adapt by acquiring skills in data science, algorithmic thinking, and software tools. The industry’s evolution raises a critical question: Will petroleum engineers evolve with these changes or risk beco…
Digital transformation in the oil and gas industry is likened to a major home renovation—requiring a clear vision, skilled collaboration, patience, and investment in lasting solutions. Though the process is challenging, the end goal is an improved, future-ready operation.
Students at the Melbourne, Australia, university took home first place at the 32nd US-based Intelligent Ground Vehicle Competition.

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.
