  AI, LNG, and Digital Completions: What Operators Need to Know | Sean Hervo

  Sep 30, 202559 minS1

  <p>Operators are under pressure to do more with less, and the future of completions lies in data-driven decision making. In this episode of Nerdin' Out, hosts Alex Fortin and Derek Mathewson sit down with Sean Hervo, co-founder and CEO of PrePad, to explore how physics-based simulation helps operators design completions smarter, faster, and more profitably.Sean shares how PrePad enables operators to simulate completions in minutes, optimize for economics (not just cost and time), and integrate seamlessly with Cold Bore’s real-time SmartPAD data. Together, they dive into the digitization of oil & gas, the shift from spreadsheets to simulation, an...

  Halliburton's Auto Frac SPE Paper and DeepSeek Drop Ships A.I. to the US

  Mar 19, 202531 minS1

  <p>In this episode of Nerdin' Out with Cold Bore, hosts Alex Fortin, Craig Bergmann, and Derek Mathewson dive deep into the intersection of AI, automation, and fracking.We start by analyzing DeepSeek, a Chinese AI model that claims to have been trained for a fraction of the cost of OpenAI’s models. The discussion touches on its controversial training methods, potential intellectual property (IP) concerns, and whether AI models can simply “copy” their way to success.Then, we shift to Halliburton’s AutoFrac SPE paper, recently presented at HFTC, and break down how automation is reshaping hydraulic fracturing operations. From aut...

  Rate Transient Analysis and Alberta's potential $70 billion AI data center

  Jan 8, 20251h 6mS1

  <p>Join Craig, Derek and special guest John Thompson for an insightful chat unpacking reservoir optimization techniques and production forecasting. We dive into rate transient analysis (RTA) - an advanced form of production data analysis. John breaks down how operators use RTA workflows to characterize reservoirs and inform field development decisions. You'll learn: - What RTA is and how it works - Why RTA helps production engineers identify underperforming wells - How operators leverage RTA for production optimization - Key innovations advancing RTA efficiency Whether you're a petroleum or production engineer, you'll gain valuable perspective on using RTA to unlock...
