While the oil and gas sector is intrinsically bound to physical equipment and capital expenditures, it stands to benefit greatly from increased data and analytics utilisation. Devon Energy, one of America’s largest independent oil and gas firms, is at the vanguard of this change. Devon is depending on data to bring efficiency to its Exploration & Production business, which is responsible for identifying petroleum reserves, extracting them, and delivering them to trucks and pipelines for transport and processing.
Throughout the E&P stages of resource discovery, drilling, and extraction, Devon has implemented a number of data-driven initiatives. Devon is applying data analytics to the geological data supplied by survey techniques like as ground-penetrating radar on the discovery side. Devon can more correctly estimate the amount of subterranean reserves in a given location by comparing survey results to previous data.
Devon can employ sensors on drill bits and rigs to more accurately measure bit placements and progress in real time when drilling wells, allowing for far more accurate and safer drilling with fewer equipment malfunctions. Finally, Devon uses data to undertake predictive maintenance on wells, as well as predictive analytics to better determine which non-performing wells should be re-fracked (basically rejuvenated) and to track the number of reserves remaining across its portfolio of over 100,000 wells.
