Halliburton's Auto Frac SPE Paper and DeepSeek Drop Ships A.I. to the US
In this episode of Nerdin' Out with Cold Bore, hosts Alex Fortin, Craig Bergmann, and Derek Mathewson dive deep into the intersection of AI, automation, and fracking.We start by analyzing DeepSeek, a Chinese AI model that claims to have been trained for a fraction of the cost of OpenAI’s models. The discussion touches on its controversial training methods, potential intellectual property (IP) concerns, and whether AI models can simply “copy” their way to success.Then, we shift to Halliburton’s AutoFrac SPE paper, recently presented at HFTC, and break down how automation is reshaping hydraulic fracturing operations. From automated pump rate adjustments to eliminating variability in day vs. night crews, we explore whether computer assisted completions will eventually replace human decision-making in the field.00:00 – Welcome & Episode Intro00:16 – DeepSeek vs. OpenAI: A New AI Challenger?03:32 – Did DeepSeek Train Its AI by Copying OpenAI?06:51 – AI Business Model Disruptions & The Race to the Bottom12:27 – Discussing Halliburton’s recent AutoFrac SPE Paper15:42 – Automation in Fracing: Manual vs. Automated Control17:45 – How Computer Driven Fracturing Eliminates Variability20:03 – Can Automation Handle Unpredictable Downhole Challenges?22:12 – The Future of Automation in Completions: Machine-Assisted or Fully Automated?25:14 – Human vs. Machine in Fracturing: Where’s the Line?27:21 – Final Thoughts & Future of AI in Energy and memes of the day.Learn more about us👇Website: https://www.coldboretechnology.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coldboretech/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ColdBoreTech/https://www.linkedin.com/company/cold-bore-technology/mycompany/
