Overview

Direct measurement of subsurface conditions is rarely possible. Engineers use continuous operational data and periodic measurements to estimate or predict key variables. This work often involves disconnected tools, scripts, and spreadsheets.

With mentor support, teams will build an interactive prototype that brings this process into one workflow. It will take users from field data and prediction to assessing well and reservoir performance. Teams will present their prototype to the jury.
