Texas A&M University’s (A&M) petroleum engineering school is partnering with Houston-based software firm Tachyus to enhance access for students to cutting-edge technology such as machine learning and predictive modeling. 

“Our platform aims to be a tool that allows students, early on, to become accustomed to modeling and optimization software so that upon entering the workforce they are acquainted and open to a technology-forward solution,” Tachyus CEO Fernando Gutierrez said. 

Petroleum engineering students would be able to access the Tachyus platform and use it to study proprietary modeling and optimization techniques that combine the use of machine learning with reservoir physics. 

Applications also include information to model and optimize enhanced oil recovery...
