Applications of Artificial Intelligence Techniques in the Petroleum Industry

by Abdolhossein Hemmati-Sarapardeh, Aydin Larestani, Nait Amar Menad, Sassan Hajirezaie

Overview

Applications of Artificial Intelligence Techniques in the Petroleum Industry gives engineers a critical resource to help them understand the machine learning that will solve specific engineering challenges. The reference begins with fundamentals, covering preprocessing of data, types of intelligent models, and training and optimization algorithms. The book moves on to methodically address artificial intelligence technology and applications by the upstream sector, covering exploration, drilling, reservoir and production engineering. Final sections cover current gaps and future challenges.
