VFR, the new buzz word in the oilfield! What is it?
There’s been a lot of talk in the last eight months about SWPM (Sealed Wellbore Pressure Monitoring) with Devon’s patent-pending technology but, have you heard the acronym VFR? No, it’s not Visual Flight Rules. But, if you answered Volume to First Response, skip to...
Making historic fracture design evaluation easier with machine learning
At the most basic level, hydraulic fracturing’s main objective is to fracture the rock to stimulate the flow of hydrocarbons. When completion engineers design a frac job, their priorities are to optimize that flow while adhering to operational, budgetary, and...
Alert: Real-Time Machine Learning is here!
Fracture-driven interactions, or FDIs, can be tough to detect in real-time even with the trained eye, but real-time machine learning now makes this possible. FDIs are not a new menace in the oilfield. They have been a challenge since the beginning of time, and are...
