The multiplayer training platform developed by the Texas A&M Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center and EnerSys Corp. uses artificial intelligence and gaming technology to simulate pipeline emergencies.
Rock Flow Dynamics' donation of its tNavigator software will benefit WVU students studying petroleum engineering, geology, and earth and environmental sciences.
The report highlights the fast evolution of AI with better performance, bigger investment, and rising global optimism. But job concerns, education gaps, and environmental costs reveal a more complex picture.

Alberto Di Lullo, Eni E&P, discusses flow assurance engineering and the challenges that those working in flow assurance address. -
Kishore K. Mohanty of the University of Texas at Austin talks about technologies that can help industry meet energy demands without harming the environment.

Advances in technology will bring many opportunities for improving our industry in areas as diverse as water management, nanotechnology and automation.
-
Materials smaller than the width of a human hair are contributing to improved hydraulic fracturing and other areas of oil and gas technology.
-
In this issue, we take a look at those technologies that seem intangible, but will be part of the standard oilfield tool box in years to come. We are talking about nanotechnology, the expansion of the digital era, automation solutions, and the exploitation of “new” resources in harsh environments.
