Optimizing Well Placement, Delivery, and Integrity Through Analytics, Automation, and Real-Time Monitoring
The presented solution estimates fatigue damage based on commonly measured parameters, specifically BOP stack and riser angles. Combined with riser, BOP, and wellhead data, it obtains a time series of bend moment and shear force at the wellhead, and then a transfer-function approach based on FEA of just the wellhead system to obtain stress time history at critical locations along it. The whole process is automated through a web-based application that integrates internal databases to quickly retrieve data necessary for the assessment, perform all necessary analysis, and present results through user-friendly dashboards.

Glossary as a Compass: Domain Knowledge Artifacts in Human-Centered AI Development
This paper reports a case in which a collaborative glossary was developed during user immersion and adopted as a guiding artifact for AI design and engineering through participatory sessions involving domain experts, designers, software engineers, and data scientists. The resulting living document defined technical and operational terms while translating everyday practices, metaphors, and user needs; it also mapped synonyms, terminological variations, and contexts of use to align ambiguous expressions with real intentions.
