The Exebenus Machine Learning (ML) agents are designed to detect risks and help avoid problems. In this podcast, we investigate the stuck pipe agents and how they are designed to predict, in real time, high-risk conditions related to pressure differentials, wellbore geometry and hole cleaning—conditions that, without intervention, typically result in costly stuck pipe situations.

The podcast features a conversation between Serafima Schaefer, well digitalization manager and data scientist Tim Robinson. The Exebenus machine learning agents are designed to detect risks and help avoid problems. They are predictive and preventative agents that, in our context, enable engineers to perform situational awareness and performance analysis throughout oilfield operations. In this podcast, we investigate the function of machine learning generally, including examples from other ind...

As we navigate the digitalization path toward automation, it is important to feel reassured along the way. In this episode we discuss how digital operational procedures help users build confidence through automatic tracking and the introduction of machine readability. As real-time data start to flow, the module recognizes and validates activities as they are executed, flags points of operational criteria, and alerts the crew when operations deviate from plan.

In this episode, we discuss how to create and use digitalized operational procedures. What goes into them? What is a digital library, and what does it contain? How does it capture best practices for future implementation? Using human- and machine-readable formats, the digital solution is an essential step toward the future of autonomous drilling operations.

In Episode 1, we talked about pragmatic, manageable steps you can take to move your digitalization process forward. In Episodes 2 and 3, we focus on operational procedures to demonstrate how those steps are applied. Operational procedures—used to describe actions required on the rig floor—are often taken for granted. In this episode, we emphasize their importance. We ask: What is the function of operational procedures? Are yours everything they could be? How can better procedures be produced ...

Exebenus was formed to help oil and gas operators prepare for and benefit from digitalization and automation in the oilfield. In future episodes, we will look at the ideas Exebenus offers to facilitate the digitalization transformation. But first, it is important to understand why digitalization is necessary and desirable. This episode looks into the progress of digitalization, how it is affecting the oilfield, what your vision of the future can be, and why companies need to begin with one fo...
