Digital oilfield

The authors of this paper present a method of retrieving downhole data that is a practical and inexpensive alternative to wireline or slickline logging and permanently installed sensors.

Industry leaders are harnessing the power of data to improve efficiencies, eliminate nonproductive time, and reduce Capex.

The authors discuss a study based on twistoffs experienced with bottomhole assembly components during drilling operations and provide recommendations for reduction or elimination of these incidents.

This paper shares details of 2 years of monitoring the first commingled updip smart water injector drilled in the Piltun area of the Piltun-Astokhskoye offshore oil and gas field.

This paper discusses a waterflood optimization system that provides monitoring and surveillance dashboards with artificial-intelligence and machine-learning components to generate and assess insights into waterflood operational efficiency.

At the company’s annual conference, leaders from its Automations Solutions business laid out a three-pronged effort to improve automation architecture—intelligent fields, the edge, and the cloud.

So far, digital twins have focused mainly on mimicking small, well-defined systems. Integrated asset models, however, tend to address the bigger picture. In this video, Distinguished Lecturer Kristian Mogensen addresses whether we can take the best from both worlds, whether we need to, and how to go about developing such a technical solution.

Digital systems are helping ensure US independent Diversified Energy continues to grow and optimize production from its mature assets.

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…
