Technology
Over the past decade, oilfield service companies have transformed logging-while-drilling (LWD) development into a faster, collaborative, system-level process that delivers improved reliability from the first run and makes development philosophy as important as the technology itself.
Saipem's center includes a full-scale simulator designed to replicate real operational scenarios to deliver an immersive training experience.
EZOps will integrate its Mobile Oilfield Management platform into the college’s energy technology program, giving students hands-on experience with digital tools used in modern oilfield operations.
