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.

Highly deviated wells are frequently drilled for oil and gas production, but the Utah FORGE team is set to tackle this challenge while drilling a geothermal well in hot, hard crystalline granite.
-
Competency in human factors is all too often focused on frontline operators, and the importance of human-factors skills among other groups is unappreciated. To be truly effective, human-factors principles have to be implemented throughout an organization.
