About this episode

Experts from Baker Hughes discuss innovations in subsurface technologies and artificial intelligence at the SPWLA symposium.

At the 67th annual SPWLA symposium, experts from Baker Hughes discussed integrating artificial intelligence with advanced subsurface technologies in modern energy exploration. The company introduced Proxima, a platform designed for formation evaluation in challenging well conditions using through-pipe conveyance. They also highlighted the Maxima platform, which utilizes machine learning to improve the speed and purity of hydrocarbon sampling while significantly reducing operational costs. For well integrity, the new CICM acoustic tool allows for 360-degree casing and cement imaging directly on the drill pipe, doubling operational efficiency. These innovations support a wide range of applications, including traditional oil and gas, geothermal energy, and carbon capture initiatives. By offering integrated advisory services, Baker Hughes aims to optimize the entire reservoir life cycle through collaboration and data-driven solutions.
