Digital Oil Field
The paper presents the design and successful field deployment of the first closed-loop hydraulic fracturing program.
The authors write that by replacing outdated, labor-intensive processes with an integrated, cloud-based platform, companies can streamline planning, improve accuracy, and foster better coordination across teams and vendors.
This paper presents the first global application of autonomous drilling in deepwater and the journey to reach optimal drilling parameters, integrating proprietary tools from the project’s business partners.
