What’s really happening in the Midland Basin today? In this episode of The Novi AI Roundup, we take a machine learning–driven look at well performance trends, spacing dynamics, and what the data says about the basin’s future. Drawing from a URTeC paper, we explore how operator strategies are evolving, why inventory quality is under more scrutiny, and where ML forecasts diverge from the headlines.This podcast episode is based on the technical paper “Analyzing Midland Basin Well Performance and Future Outlook with Machine Learning”, authors: Brandon Myers, Ted Cross, and Alexander Cui.
