Digital oilfield
This paper presents a multifaceted approach leveraging precise rig control, physics models, and machine-learning techniques to deliver consistently high performance in a scalable manner for sliding.
This paper proposes a novel approach toward drilling maximum-reservoir-contact wells by integrating automated drilling and geosteering software to control the downhole bottomhole assembly, thereby minimizing the need for human intervention.
This paper offers an exploration into the field applications of multiphase flowmeters (MPFMs) across global contexts and the lessons learned from implementation in a smart oil field that uses several types of MPFM.
-
Having blockchain on an oil rig means everyone on the job shares a view of a project from start to finish. This could facilitate innovations that cut costs, but organizational change is required. -
In this paper, the authors propose a coupled wellbore/reservoir model that performs dynamic nodal analysis using integrated models for surface-facilities, wellbore, and reservoir simulators and allows an operator to select choke sizes as a function of time.
-
The objective of this paper is to illustrate a methodology for identifying the value of information (VOI) in reservoir management—in particular, for deriving the conditional probabilities of success when new and imperfect data are acquired.
-
Initial development of inflow tracers was designed to provide qualitative information about the location of water breakthrough in production wells. The proof of concept and application for water detection initiated the development of oil tracers for oil-inflow monitoring.
-
The technology will provide Equinor a continual feed of updated reservoir information from its Johan Castberg and Johan Sverdrup fields with the aim of improving well placement, production, injection, and—ultimately—recovery.
-
A new event is kicking off in September that will bring together the brightest minds in digital tech and oil and gas.
-
Harnessing stranded data will transform operations beyond what existing, siloed software solutions delivered. There is a clear need to be more agile and embrace cloud-based solutions to realize new capabilities.
-
The goal is to support the development and sharing of best-practice approaches for project delivery and asset operations using cloud services and digital workflows in engineering and operations.
-
Acquiring data from an abandoned subsea well has been done before, but never quite like this.
-
Wearable computers are turning heads in the oil and gas industry and appear to be on a trajectory for widespread adoption.
