Technology
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.
Saipem's center includes a full-scale simulator designed to replicate real operational scenarios to deliver an immersive training experience.

The Energy East Pipeline involves the conversion of an existing TransCanada gas pipeline to oil service, as well as the construction of 1500 km of new pipeline. With a capacity of 1.1 million B/D, it will eliminate the need to import foreign crude oil to refineries in Quebec and New Brunswick. -
Successful and commercial unconventional plays benefit in many cases from midstream activity that occurred decades earlier. In this article, authors look at the evolution of resource plays in light of the availability of midstream infrastructure.

From trenchless construction for environmentally sensitive areas to heated pipelines which reduce associated upstream and downstream facilities, innovation in pipeline technology is improving operating efficiencies.
-
The unique properties of deepwater formations pose significant challenges to the capabilities of conventional drilling rigs. Using automated drilling equipment, including MPD, efficiency and cost savings can accompany safety.
-
Production of formation sand is one of the oldest problems in oil and gas industry. Achieving maximum well productivity without excessive sand production or plugging requires sand control that depends on the type of the reservoir and production technology.
-
Early identification of geomechanics-related problems is required to optimally drill, complete, stimulate, and produce from reservoirs. Academic institutes, the oil industry, and contribution from professional societies play a key role in recognizing geomechanics as an important discipline.
-
Drilling automation is one of the most promising emerging technologies that the oil and gas industry has to look forward to. The potential benefits span the spectrum from health and safety to lower costs and repeatable well results.
-
One of the more important aspects of well integrity during drilling operations is early kick detection. Recently, new technologies and re-search have been applied or developed to improve the kick-detection systems and to overcome some of the difficulties.
