This paper describes the qualification of a multilayer, open-cell matrix polymer system for the first horizontal deployment in an offshore gas well.
-
This paper delves into the evolving landscape of drilling automation, emphasizing the imperative for these systems to go beyond novelty and deliver quantifiable financial value.
-
This paper describes installation of autonomous inflow control valves in the Bretaña Norte field in Peru, enabling effective water control even though the trial well was placed in the flank, close to the oil/water contact.
-
This update highlights efforts to electrify oil and gas assets and deliver clean energy to remote, underserved communities. But the big question remains: Can we really achieve net zero emissions by 2050?
-
These papers underscore the need for strategic adaptation of automation systems to the specific challenges of offshore environments. The success of predictive machine learning in this context depends on its ability to offer measurable financial benefits, improve safety, and drive operational efficiency.
