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.

A key concern in offshore well control is riser gas migration. At the DGD Laboratory at Texas A&M, investigations are being conducted both computationally using dynamic multiphase flow software, and experimentally using a scaled model of a marine riser to find ways to mitigate gas-in-riser events. -
Open innovation, also referred to as external or network innovation, can accelerate new technology identification and adoption in the oil and gas industry.
