Drilling
The birthplace of Royal Dutch Shell, Indonesia and Malaysia, buck trends and grow their gas and oil industries, expecting a record number of final investment decisions in the next 4 years in gas, deep water, and carbon capture projects to support Southeast Asia’s booming economic growth.
Technology uptake aimed at optimizing resources, delivering consistency, and augmenting what humans can do.
This paper highlights a new online system for monitoring drilling fluids, enabling intelligent control of drilling-fluid performance.
