As a senior geoscientist who has been involved in many data science and machine learning projects, Matt Morris discusses where these fields fit into the work of a geoscientist in oil and gas. He describes what problems are well suited for data science or machine learning and the qualities of the solutions that can make them more useful.

Matt Morris, Project Geophysical Advisor (Part 1)

This podcast series was put together by data science intern Leo Elworth to spread knowledge on these hot topics to the broader community. As the buzz around data science and machine learning continues to grow, more and more people are developing a curiosity for these topics, as well as their applications to the specific field of oil and gas. Interviews with expert data scientists and geologists serve to highlight innovative problems and share entertaining anecdotes. Podcast editing assistance was provided by Selena Garza.

In part 2, we further discuss the role of the gig economy via the crowd in data science and machine learning, now and in the future.

Richard Copsey, Open Innovation Manager (Part 2)

Richard Copsey introduces the idea of looking "beyond the walls" for data science and machine learning solutions. New approaches like crowdsourcing can bring data science work in from a wide, external talent pool. We also discuss three specific oil and gas problems that were solved in part by the crowd.
