Machine Learning in the Oil and Gas Industry: ML Roles and Applications

Constance
Machine learning (ML) is a technology that is having a critical impact on the oil and gas industry and is becoming an important technology for industry stakeholders. Here is where it is having an impact today, what ML applications are being used, and what the future holds. What Is Machine Learning? Machine learning is a branch of artificial intelligence (AI) in where computer systems are trained to receive large sets of data and derive a conclusion. This training can come in addition to or instead of manual programming. These intelligent machines… Read More Here

Caterpillar Buys Brothers’ Innovative Screed Inventions, Oxclaw and Bullox

Constance
Two inventions that some believe will be the most significant innovations for the asphalt screed in almost a century will be available through Caterpillar, thanks to two brothers who run a family-owned paving business in Wyoming. Stuart and Michael Frost have been on asphalt paving crews since they were kids and have owned highway paving company Mountain Construction in Powell for more than 20 years. They had always dreamed of a better screed – one that would achieve higher mat density and enable easier and faster plate changes. After much… Read More Here

Volvo Shifts Focus From Large Mining Trucks To Smaller Vehicles

Constance
The question of whether bigger means better in mining trucks was raised again recently in a blog post by Uwe Muller, Head of Sales & Marketing Off-Road Solutions at Volvo Autonomous Solutions. Of course one issue with today’s large rigid mining trucks is their CO2 emissions, which motivated a Volvo research project as far back as 2015 on whether these haul trucks could be powered by batteries, thus reducing environmental impact. With the technology available at the time, it was clear that electrification in this format wasn’t a practical option.… Read More Here

In A First In Asia, Adani To Deploy Hydrogen Powered Trucks For Mining

arnbethnic
For the first time in Asia, hydrogen powered trucks will soon be deployed for mining operations in India. In this regard, Adani Enterprises Limited (AEL) on Tuesday (17 January) announced its collaboration with India’s Ashok Leyland and Ballard Power of Canada. The agreement aims to develop a hydrogen fuel cell electric truck (FCET) for mining logistics and transportation. This collaboration marks Asia’s first planned hydrogen powered mining truck. The demonstration project will be led by AEL. While Ballard, a leading PEM fuel cell engine manufacturer, will supply the fuel cell… Read More Here

The race to make diesel engines run on hydrogen

Johannsen
It’s a new hydrogen-diesel hybrid engine affectionately known as “baby number two” that could help to decarbonise some of Australia’s heaviest industries. The test rig is large – it has its own room adjoining a lab and looks at first glance like many other large motors, but beneath its metallic skin could lie game-changing technology. Engineers at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) say they have successfully modified a conventional diesel engine to use a mix of hydrogen and a small amount of diesel, claiming their patented technology has cut carbon… Read More Here
