A data-driven look at fuel savings, battery degradation, and net CO2 impact over a 10-year ownership period.
In an industry that rarely slows down, memory can be a powerful engineering tool. Not in terms of nostalgia, but in perspective. Many of the activities that constituted daily operations have been so deeply transformed that new generations of engineers may never have experienced them before.
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 3-minute video teaches the meaning of digital twins and provides day-to-day examples of how this technology can be used. Excerpts from this SPE Live examine the need to construct digital twins to support decisions made in the geothermal (and other renewables) energy domain. -
Drilling systems automation has made great strides in applications, with more progress coming. The question now is how the value proposition holds up and what growth is potentially in the future for automation of well completion, intervention, and P&A activities.

Corrosion is a thermodynamic process. This simply means corrosion is a natural process that can only be controlled and never be stopped completely.
-
The increase in CO2 emissions has been dramatic in the last few decades. A possible solution to this difficult and intractable problem can be adopting a circular carbon economy.

Disruptive digital technologies change the world, altering fundamental aspects of how we work and live. A new generation of digital technologies, enabled by blockchain, could make processes faster and create opportunities both for businesses and individuals. Blockchain-based technology could also help accelerate the energy transition.
