🆓For those of you who refer friends (3 to be exact), you will also receive our Premium Monthly Newsletter – free of charge.

😃If you’re a Barrel Hub subscriber, then it’s good to see you! 

🤝If not, no worries, there’s still time to fix that. 

🆒If you’re curious, click here… we love to talk about ourselves.

💸Now, on to the good stuff!

Daily Data Dump

The good, the bad, and the ugly of Texas oil production.

Best of the Best 🏆️

Every week, we sift through our proprietary data to find the best performers in Texas.

Never Quit 😢

Similarly, we find the oil producers who need a little help (i.e. call Barrel Hub).

If you’re wondering how we get this information, we’re under strict orders from OPEC not to disclose that (but if you want to know you can go here).

China's Oil Slip Trip

China's July crude imports and exports decreased more than anticipated, causing a roughly 1% drop in oil prices, marking concerns over its post-COVID economic recovery. Despite the bleak data and contrasting oil production decisions globally, analysts remain hopeful about China's fuel demand through early October due to the peak season for construction and manufacturing.

Reyna's Legal Lifeline for Oil Workers

Reyna Law Firm introduces enhanced legal support for oil field workers in Odessa, Texas, highlighting the hazardous conditions they often face. The firm offers expert guidance on injury claims, emphasizing the importance of adequate compensation for severe injuries in the oil and gas sectors, while also preparing for courtroom representation if required.

Reader Question of the Day

How is waste heat from oil refining and extraction processes recovered and utilized?

Machine learning (ML) algorithms have increasingly been integrated into the domain of oil reservoir simulations to enhance optimization, reduce uncertainties, and increase production efficiency. Here's how they're being applied:

1. Prediction and Surrogate Modeling

2. Optimizing Production

3. Uncertainty Quantification

4. Characterization and Pattern Recognition

5. History Matching and Inversion

6. Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) Decision Making

Incorporating ML into reservoir simulations can result in more accurate models, faster simulations, and ultimately, better decision-making in reservoir management. However, the success of ML applications relies heavily on the quality and quantity of available data, as well as the expertise in both petroleum engineering and data science.
