Digital oilfield

Fiber-optic technology company Silixa announced the installation, validation, and borehole seismic acquisition from a permanently installed fiber-optic distributed acoustic sensing system on BP’s Atlantis Phase 3 subsea field development.

Most people would agree that society’s first challenge is to shift the world toward a new energy paradigm based on technologies that do not contribute to climate change. But the cold evidence leaves little doubt that this transition is taking longer than we hoped. Consequently, the other challenge is that we need to actively reduce the emissions of the legacy assets t…

The digital project is designed to deliver data management and insight across Aramco’s entire drilling fleet, making it the largest deployment in Baker Hughes’ history.

The last year has seen people in many sectors unexpectedly confronting a new challenge—working remotely. Even before this, our industry has been trying to operate fields remotely (either partially or fully) and make operations smarter and more automated.

This paper discusses the development and commissioning of one of the first fields in the UAE to be operated remotely. The designed and applied technology facilitated unmanned operation of the field from downhole to export.

Dynamic simulation has proved an effective tool throughout the lifecycle of the deepwater Appomattox project, in large part because of implementation at an early stage.

This paper discusses how digital technologies are being applied in other verticals and how they can be leveraged to optimize lifecycle performance, drive down costs, and decouple market volatility from profitability for offshore oil and gas facilities.

The paper discusses a methodology for integrating intelligent completion and production systems with a modeling and analytics framework for efficient development of fiber-optic-based data-interpretation services for complex downhole environments.
