Idle time for a drilling rig costs about $250,000 an hour. AI is being embraced across the industry to ensure it doesn’t happen.A while back, an energy major had an unfathomable, intermittent problem with its drilling operations. It was beginning to cost big money, and experts from IBM were called in. After an extensive AI and human examination of historical sensor data, the problem was determined to be caused by whale song during the mating season which was reverberating in the drill pipe…
