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.
