... the theoretical concept of quantum computing has come to become a reality, and the race to build a powerful quantum computer is accelerating every year. According to a recent report from Global Quantum Intelligence, the impact of quantum tech across the oil and gas industry could equate to $2.6 trillion by 2035...

...Adam Wilson In 1957, the Journal of Petroleum Technology published an article titled “Application of Large Computers to Reservoir Engineering Problems.” That was the first reference in JPT to what became known as supercomputers. The high-speed computers used in the 1957 article were capable...

It has also focused on creating new software and computers to do more with the data onsite. While their steel...

... the morning report is “high on our value creation ranking,” said Chris James, project manager, drilling, for Moblize. His thinking is that companies are paying the engineers supervising drilling projects a lot of money “so why should they be taking time out to be writing reports?” The argument for computer...
