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.

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.

Sometimes problems turn out to be an opportunity to try something new. In this case, the result was a well design unlike anything most in the shale sector have seen before.
-
Production data from the oldest horizontal wells in the three largest oil plays in the US show that annual decline rates remain relatively high for a long period of time. This challenges assumptions held about production after 5 years and directly affects reserve and ultimate recovery estimates.
