As video game technology has evolved, so have the ways in which this technology can be used in the oil and gas industry.
Five key themes to AI's success including standardization, automation, integration, scalability, and continuous improvement can provide a clear roadmap for effective AI deployment, addressing challenges and driving sustainability across the subsurface energy sector.
TWA editor in chief and University of Oklahoma alumnus Aman Srivastava interviews the professors and students in the university's petroleum engineering department about the cutting-edge research YPs are participating in.

Brazil’s national oil company details the results of 6 years of real-time drilling monitoring. The next step is to move toward optimization, then automation. -
What will competitiveness look like in our industry in 10 or 20 years from now? What novel pathways might we envision to restore the natural environment, while creating shareholder value and enhance our license to operate? How can you serve as a potent catalyst for positive change?
-
The oil industry has not treated reservoir crude oil with the same degree of rigor as it does reservoir rock formations. Reservoir fluid geodynamics is a new technical discipline that accounts for hydrocarbon compositional redistribution and phase change in reservoirs in geologic time.
-
Most petroleum engineers understand that engineering calculations involve the properties of fluids. “Fluid” is a term used to describe gases and liquids. An equation of state is nothing more than a fluid model.
-
An overview of two novel applications of the capacitance model, including its implementation during the primary production period and in gas reservoirs.
-
Anytime strict hierarchical structures are shaken, people like you and me have an opportunity to change them. To build a new paradigm.
-
A quick overview of CCS and the challenges in its application.

Shutting in a well in the oil and gas industry is not like locking a house without a tenant; turning the tap off is akin to demolishing the house in many cases.
-
Water-in-oil emulsions cost millions in maintenance, reduce oil recovery, and create excess carbon. These economic and environmental burdens may finally be resolved.

The evaluation of waterfloods often is focused on issues at the well level. But each well is only one part of a bigger system. For this reason, it is important to diagnose a waterflood from multiple viewpoints: the field, pattern, and well levels.
