Supplying Synthetic Crude Oil from Canadian Oil Sands: A Comparative Study of the Costs and CO2 Emissions of Mining and In-Situ Recovery [PDF]
, 2010 High crude oil prices and the eventual decline of conventional oil production raise the issue of alternative fuels such as non-conventional oil. The paper describes a simple probabilistic model of the costs of synthetic crude oil (SCO) produced from ...

Well-to-Tank Carbon Intensity Variability of Fossil Marine Fuels: A Country-Level Assessment [PDF]
arXivThe transition toward a low-carbon maritime transportation requires understanding lifecycle carbon intensity (CI) of marine fuels. While well-to-tank emissions significantly contribute to total greenhouse gas emissions, many studies lack global perspective in accounting for upstream operations, transportation, refining, and distribution.

Risk Analysis of Flowlines in the Oil and Gas Sector: A GIS and Machine Learning Approach [PDF]
arXivThis paper presents a risk analysis of flowlines in the oil and gas sector using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and machine learning (ML). Flowlines, vital conduits transporting oil, gas, and water from wellheads to surface facilities, often face under-assessment compared to transmission pipelines.

How to use Big Data technologies to optimize operations in Upstream Petroleum Industry [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 "Big Data is the oil of the new economy" is the most famous citation during the three last years. It has even been adopted by the World Economic Forum in 2011. In fact, Big Data is like crude! It's valuable, but if unrefined it cannot be used. It must be broken down, analyzed for it to have value.
