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.

There is no single reason that they all exist—and bringing them all on line will face challenges. -
Underbalanced coiled tubing drilling has continually advanced since the first trials in the 1990s but remains a relatively niche drilling technology. With UBCTD projects set to start in many countries next year, this technology may be seeing a turning point.

Considering most of the rigs deal with human-machine interface systems, the role of human factors is at the heart of any successful operation. Eye-tracking technology can be useful in real-time operation centers where ocular movement data can improve the professionals’ performance.

Shale explorers run very few logs into horizontal wells, making it difficult to understand the effects of reservoir depletion in tightly spaced wells. This new technology is trying to change that.

Due to its simplicity, the Arp's Hyperbolic Decline Model is used in unconventional resource plays. The poster mathematically proves and physically explains why "b>1" can't last forever.

Unconventional oil and gas have come to dominate the exploration and development scene in Western Canada since 2005, much as they have in the US. As usually happens with new play ideas and trends, appraisal and development have generated a broad spectrum of results in Canadian Unconventional plays.

In drilling, more often than not, automation and optimization are independently addressed. Artificial intelligence can be the bridge between the two.
