Large Language Models Boost Supervisory Efficiency With AI-Generated Reports

GenAI, LLM, Murphy Oil Corporation, Oil & Gas, Operations, Subsurface Engineering

Routine status reporting often presents a challenge because of its intimidating and time-consuming nature for both employees and supervisors. With large language models, a system was developed to generate coherent artificial-intelligence-driven reports. The goal is to enhance the understanding of overall insights and reduce the time required for individual report reading.

Digital Tool Brings Clarity to Reporting of Downtime

Downtime, Drilling, Murphy Oil Corporation, Oil & Gas, Operations

Murphy Oil worked across its assets to create a tool called the Global Downtime Report (GDR). The GDR provides a global perspective of operational downtime data, focusing on nonproductive time related to drilling, completion, and production operations.

Data-Driven, Automated Batch Treatment Program Streamlines Rod-Pump Maintenance

Batch Treatment Program, Murphy Oil Corporation, Oil & Gas, Production Chemistry

Economical oil extraction depends largely on reducing wear and tear of downhole equipment and tubulars through regular monitoring and batch treatment to cut the risk of corrosion and costly workovers. Having a data-driven approach to scheduling batch treatment can bring down the frequency of treatment and avoid the unnecessary use of resources.

Data Science Offers Perspective on Downtime of Production Facilities Caused by Storms in the Gulf of Mexico

Murphy Oil Corporation, Oil & Gas, Operations, SPE

Tropical storms severely affect oil and gas production in the Gulf of Mexico, especially during the storm season from June to December. Offshore well managers often need to shut down operations and evacuate the facility because of storm alerts. The purpose of this paper is to determine the effect of storms on production by quantifying metrics such as downtime days and downtime percentage after the storm has passed and whether a facility’s platform type affected these metrics.

Proposed Framework Normalizes Completions Tags

Murphy Oil Corporation, Oil & Gas, Operations, SPE

Murphy Oil has created a work flow to normalize the tags it uses when collecting data on its hydraulic fracturing stages. The work flow described here empowers decision makers, who no longer wait for hours to collect data or waste hours cleaning and preparing data for analysis.

Framework for AI- and ML-Based Predictive Maintenance for Offshore Rotating Equipment

CanaryLabs, Data Historian, Murphy Oil Corporation, Oil & Gas, SPE

This study examines the implementation of a predictive maintenance method using artificial intelligence and machine learning for offshore rotating production-critical equipment. Conducted over 2 years at Murphy Oil’s deepwater platforms in the Gulf of Mexico, the project aimed to detect equipment issues early, reduce downtime, and streamline maintenance processes.
