Weatherford International plc announced a strategic agreement with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to advance the company's digital transformation and drive innovation across the energy sector.
The authors of this paper describe a project to develop a virtual sensor to monitor the cooling effect downstream of a subsea choke to avoid hydrate plugs during cold-start operations.
This paper describes the operator’s digital-twin end-to-end production system deployed for model-based surveillance and optimization.

A test showing that it’s possible to automate the billing process for produced water hauling has opened the door for tracking a wide range of field activities. The industry downturn brought on by COVID-19 has motivated big companies to test practical applications sooner. -
Three-dimensional seismic technology helped unlock more subsurface secrets for oil and gas operators. Now, 3D technology can be used in scanning, a cutting-edge technology that engineers can use to plan upgrades to oil and gas assets virtually.
