Digital oilfield
Weatherford International announced a strategic agreement with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to advance the company's digital transformation and drive innovation across the energy sector.
This paper describes the operator’s digital-twin end-to-end production system deployed for model-based surveillance and optimization.
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.

For the planning of an enhanced-oil-recovery (EOR) project in a major mature oil field in east Malaysia, an extensive routine-core-analysis (RCA) and special-core-analysis (SCAL) program has been performed on unconsolidated clastic reservoir rocks. -
At the recent Unconventional Resources Technical Conference in Denver, a direct measurement of what is downhole was a theme of new products offered to operators who see the need for more data on what is working, what is not working, and what could be made to work better.
-
This paper describes field experiences and perspectives on a Smart Fields implementation for the Bonga deepwater field and uses the results of a post-implementation study to evaluate the business effects and lessons learned after 5 years.
-
The world’s first offshore gas-hydrate production was carried out successfully in deepwater Japan at Nankai trough in 2013.
-
This paper presents a new approach in monitoring the hydraulic system and in the recognition of well‑control events at an early stage such that proper counteractions can be initiated before any damage occurs.
-
It has been an impressive comeback for a technology that once stood on the brink of failure. The upstream oil and gas industry has largely resolved crippling technical challenges that shortened the life of fiber-optic cables in downhole applications and is now working on a big encore.
-
A reservoir-monitoring system has been installed on a medium-heavy-oil onshore field in the context of redevelopment by gravity-assisted steamflood.
-
This paper addresses the architecture, implementation, and benefits of complex-event processing (CEP) as a solution for the intelligent field.
-
What is taking so long? Well, more than a decade into the intelligent-fields initiative, this is a question that remains prominent.
-
This paper describes the design, testing, installation, and performance of the first fully completed well using an intelligent inner completion inside an uncemented liner with openhole packers for zonal isolation.
