Pipe Goes High Tech

October 17, 2022 by PBOG

One wouldn’t think that something as simple as a cylinder would offer many prospects for innovation. But one would be wrong. The metal cylinder known as pipe has attracted a wave of innovation and sophistication in the shale era. Oilfield pipe, commonly described as “oil country tubular goods, or OCTG, falls into four categories: drill […]

See a Need, Fill a Need

October 10, 2022 by PBOG

After decades of resisting change, the oil patch in recent years has begun to embrace—and even seek out—new technologies that reduce overhead, boost efficiencies, and improve production, among other things, at least some of the time. One Houston company has recently purchased a developing technology it hopes will reduce flaring in the Permian and elsewhere […]

Taking Flight

October 3, 2022 by PBOG

The mention of aerial imagery usually brings visions of drones, and that is certainly a big part of the mix. Additionally, companies like Ft. Worth-based Prius Intelli are using manned, fixed-wing flights to quickly cover wider areas and collect more data than is afforded by just visual images. With regulators clamping down on greenhouse gas […]

Faster, Better, More Accurately

September 5, 2022 by PBOG

As AI helps E&Ps make sense of the torrent of data coming from today’s oil field, there are two areas in which SparkCognition SVP Energy and Sustainability Phillippe Hervé finds extremely significant. One is in drilling optimization, “Which is very, very possible, and we do it with excellent results,” he says. Drilling faster, better, and […]

A Sense of (Cyber) Security

July 11, 2022 by PBOG

When Nozomi Networks’ Chris Grove first arrived in the operational technologies sector six years ago—after more than two decades in cybersecurity overall—and he found a lack of knowledge/interest from companies about the security risks involved in connecting their OT (operational technology) devices to networks. “When we would go to customers [on sales calls] it was […]

Using existing data to create efficient, accurate subsurface models

November 1, 2021 by PBOG

Derive better subsurface insights regardless of data quantity Many of today’s most prolific wells were previously considered economically or technologically unviable. As wells become increasingly complex and the energy industry continues to push the boundaries of exploration and production innovation, E&P companies must achieve exceptional levels of operational efficiency and productivity to be successful. Operating […]

The A.I. Factor

August 1, 2021 by PBOG

Science fiction abounds with stories of robot or computer takeovers, from 2001 A Space Odyssey’s HAL 9000 to Dr. Who’s Cyber Men—along with the flip side, the original Star Trek’s “Spock’s Brain” episode where the bad guys hooked Spock’s brain up to the system that controlled their civilization’s air conditioning and other processes. Whether any […]
