RESEARCHERS at the Berkeley National Laboratory in California have created a tool that uses artificial intelligence to find undocumented oil and gas wells across the US.

Between 1947 and 1992, these maps also used consistent symbols for oil and gas wells: a hollow black circle. "For a human being, looking at this circle and recognizing it is extremely easy ...
