Located 230 km south of Abu Dhabi, the onshore Shah field produces around 70,000 B/D of crude.
-
A new report from GlobalData provides an overview of the digitalization efforts within the industry and their potential to transform operations.
-
AI can transform our work, but it demands the highest accuracy. Anything less than perfect in oil and gas and other heavy-asset industries is unacceptable.
-
The authors of this paper discuss how intelligent completions in the Gulf of Mexico have allowed for increased production, reduction in operating expenses, enhanced overall reservoir recovery, and improved safety and environmental performance.

Digitalization and automation of the drilling process drive the need for an interoperability platform in a drilling operation, where a shared definition and method of calculation of the drilling process state is a fundamental element of an infrastructure to enable interoperability at the rigsite.
-
ExxonMobil developed an automated system to identify nonproductive and underperforming Permian Basin wells and prioritize high-volume wells to return to production.
-
This paper describes the suite of cloud-based digital twin tools that the operator has developed and is integrating into its operations, providing online, real-time calculation of scale risk and deployed barrier health to manage risk on a well-by-well basis.
