Production
The supermajor said the fields are not expected to contribute meaningfully to its production profile by 2030.
This case study describes how edge computing and industrial internet of things platforms were deployed to automate and optimize production operations across four distinct basins.
Output is rising fast in the South American shale play and putting Argentina on a course to soon reach 1 million B/D.

This article is the second of a two-part series on produced-water management in the Gulf of Mexico and covers four themes: equipment, process configuration, operations, and effluent quality. -
The supermajor is making a major course correction as it plans to slash renewable investment and focus more on oil and gas development.

Today, the dependence on primary monitors is higher than ever, so much so that orchestrated efforts are underway to make these nearly foolproof. Often, direct measurements are supplemented with model predictions. Also notably visible are the efforts to integrate multiple perspectives of sustained production.

SponsoredElectrical submersible pumps (ESPs) are the backbone of artificial lift operations, enabling the extraction of hydrocarbons from challenging reservoirs. However, their effectiveness is often compromised by the extreme downhole environment, characterized by soaring temperatures, high pressures, and exposure to aggressive fluids.
