Digital oilfield
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.
The paper showcases the digital journey of a brownfield where digital solutions are enhancing recoverable volume, production, and process efficiency while minimizing losses and maximizing the return of investment.
-
This paper introduces a measurement system that is agile for transport and can be installed anywhere with a small footprint while delivering reasonably accurate results. -
The authors of this paper present an autonomous directional-drilling framework built on intelligent planning and execution capabilities and supported by surface and downhole automation technologies.
-
The opening ceremony highlighted maximizing production sustainably to meet global demand, integration of simulation and optimization in a single platform with automation, and energy security.
-
The authors of this paper present a method of retrieving downhole data that is a practical and inexpensive alternative to wireline or slickline logging and permanently installed sensors.
-
Industry leaders are harnessing the power of data to improve efficiencies, eliminate nonproductive time, and reduce Capex.
-
The authors discuss a study based on twistoffs experienced with bottomhole assembly components during drilling operations and provide recommendations for reduction or elimination of these incidents.
-
This paper shares details of 2 years of monitoring the first commingled updip smart water injector drilled in the Piltun area of the Piltun-Astokhskoye offshore oil and gas field.
-
This paper discusses a waterflood optimization system that provides monitoring and surveillance dashboards with artificial-intelligence and machine-learning components to generate and assess insights into waterflood operational efficiency.
-
At the company’s annual conference, leaders from its Automations Solutions business laid out a three-pronged effort to improve automation architecture—intelligent fields, the edge, and the cloud.

So far, digital twins have focused mainly on mimicking small, well-defined systems. Integrated asset models, however, tend to address the bigger picture. In this video, Distinguished Lecturer Kristian Mogensen addresses whether we can take the best from both worlds, whether we need to, and how to go about developing such a technical solution.
