An automated detection application helped identify stringers early for an operator of a mature field in the North Sea while drilling multilateral wells through reservoir sections containing hard calcite stringers interspersed in sand formations with low unconfined compressive strength. The application guided drilling decisions that minimized invisible lost time and sh…
Schlumberger and Cognite have partnered to integrate Schlumberger’s Enterprise Data Solution for subsurface with Cognite Data Fusion, Cognite’s open industrial DataOps platform.
Hiber has announced a new service for oil and gas operators looking to upgrade their field assets through digital surveillance. The company’s new HiberHilo wired-to-wireless converter turns analog well and pipeline data into wireless signals.
The Norwegian oil and gas major and Vissim, a Norwegian tech firm, have completed a new space-based system for sea surveillance, marine and air logistics, and coordination of offshore activity and emergency response.
Geolog and Petro.ai announced a strategic partnership to deliver data science products and services to the global energy industry.
Among other things, Microsoft is making it possible for Exxon to analyze reams of oilfield data. Amazon is helping drillers run simulations to maximize how much oil they can pump from existing wells.
Trials of the robotics company’s Hydronaut and Aquanaut system are expected in the third quarter of 2022 after the companies conducted a successful feasibility study.
The Russian gas company announced that it will use locally source unmanned aerial vehicles to inspect its facilities and pipelines in the Yurkharovskoye field.
