Johan Sverdrup – a lot of oil and a lot of data
Johan Sverdrup is a big field that produces a lot of oil. Many people know that. But it is also a field that produces a lot of data, which is…
Teaching the machine to identify prospects – as easy as it sounds?
Let’s start this story with a philosophical question: “Isn’t there a contradiction in using human interpretation to ground-truth a model if the purpose of the exercise is to identify leads…
More efficient – and better quality
“Machine learning is particularly suitable for near-field exploration,” claims Eirik Larsen, founder and Chief Solutions Officer of the fast-growing company Earth Science Analytics, which has set itself the goal of…
Recent Advances in Climate Change Research: Part XVI – A Greenhouse Model for Stratospheric Cooling – 2
In this part, we introduce you to the 1D window-grey radiation model of the atmosphere, which illustrates the physical essence of the mechanism by which a CO2 increase cools the…
The Google maps of seismic analysis
In the same way as Google maps has radically changed the way how road navigation works, researchers in Equinor have developed a methodology to enable the analysis of seismic data…
Drawing grains from cutting samples to develop machine learning algorithms
Do you know what junior geologist Wouter Bell Gravendeel is doing in the image shown above? Together with his fellow colleagues Jostein Larsen Hesthammer and Jahn Brusdal Eriksen, he is…
How cutting data help decode the subsurface
“De-risking future targets should be done through the integration of all sources of information at hand. The enormous dataset now available via the Released Wells Initiative helps us a lot,”…
Oil is increasingly critical for production of batteries
Just as you were about to think that batteries represent the NEW way of energy use versus fossil fuels standing for the OLD way, then continue reading. Even if no…
Store excess green electrical energy in…. synclines
How to store excess electrical energy when there is a surplus generated by wind and solar and how to supply energy when the wind doesn’t blow and the sun doesn’t…
Towards a new era
Sea Bed Logging is a new technology that offers the opportunity to detect trapped hydrocarbons in the subsurface prior to drilling. Shell EP has recently conducted a number of very…
