A smart safety helmet with physiological monitoring, gas detection, and real-time location tracking for emergencies was the winning concept at this year's SPE Students Technical Symposium and Exhibition.
This article examines how domain experts can use no-code ML platforms to explore decision-relevant problems, validate hypotheses, quickly build prototypes, and engage more effectively with data science teams when solutions transition toward production.
Over the past decade, oilfield service companies have transformed logging-while-drilling (LWD) development into a faster, collaborative, system-level process that delivers improved reliability from the first run and makes development philosophy as important as the technology itself.

Just another day’s work, studying deltaic outcrops with the assistance of modern drone capabilities. In collaboration with Cari Johnson, Ellen Reat, and Casey Duncan of the University of Utah, we are documenting deltaic facies and stacking patterns in South Africa’s Kookfontein Formation. The technology is impressive, but it still requires human brains to operate the … -
