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.

Alain C. Gringarten, Imperial College London discusses well testing -- why, how, and most importantly, how results are interpreted.
-
An interview with Joe Leimkuhler of Shell and Greg Leveille of ConocoPhillips on unconventional resources development.
-
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.
-
Shale acts both as source rock and reservoir rock. Gas production in commercial quantities requires the presence of fractures to provide permeability. It also requires getting the gas in the shale to release through desorption.
-
Materials smaller than the width of a human hair are contributing to improved hydraulic fracturing and other areas of oil and gas technology.
-
Advances in technology will bring many opportunities for improving our industry in areas as diverse as water management, nanotechnology and automation.

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.
