Derisk CCS operations with detailed subsurface characterization As governments, agencies and industries across the world increase their focus on sustainability and mitigating the risks of climate change, carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) is becoming more important than ever before. As one of the few proven technologies to significantly lower net emissions from some of the […]
Optimizing well production to maximize ROI across the life cycle
Unlock well and field-wide productivity with optimized artificial lift In today’s complex energy landscape, oil and gas operators must find innovative new ways to improve operational efficiency and reduce capital expenses. To accomplish this, best practices in the field are being backed up with more engineering criteria. Digital breakthroughs, such as adaptive, high-science applications and […]
Using existing data to create efficient, accurate subsurface models
Derive better subsurface insights regardless of data quantity Many of today’s most prolific wells were previously considered economically or technologically unviable. As wells become increasingly complex and the energy industry continues to push the boundaries of exploration and production innovation, E&P companies must achieve exceptional levels of operational efficiency and productivity to be successful. Operating […]
How to drill the best wells on the best acreage with limited data
Maximize limited data to gain valuable insights and reduce uncertainty As the industry has moved into more intensive development with substantial capital outlays in a difficult price scenario, it’s more important than ever that we drill the best wells on the best acreage and get it right the first time. Having confidence in your reservoir-scale […]
The A.I. Factor
Science fiction abounds with stories of robot or computer takeovers, from 2001 A Space Odyssey’s HAL 9000 to Dr. Who’s Cyber Men—along with the flip side, the original Star Trek’s “Spock’s Brain” episode where the bad guys hooked Spock’s brain up to the system that controlled their civilization’s air conditioning and other processes. Whether any […]
Cyber’s New Era
Friday, May 7, 2021, may have been the wakeup call for any corporation thinking it was immune to cyberattacks of any sort, including ransomware. Alarms certainly went off in Alpharetta, Ga., then, at the home of Colonial Pipeline, the U.S.’s largest pipeline system for refined petroleum products. After a few days and a $4.4-$5 million […]
Pigging Comes of Age
The lowly and usually invisible pipeline pig is not just an oilfield tool. Any industry that uses a pipeline to transfer liquid from place to place uses pigs to clean the insides and to check structural integrity. Food, industrial chemicals, water, and other fluids can flow a few feet across a plant or thousands of […]
“Never Going Back”
From the drill bit to the back office, information technology’s efficiencies and insights are helping the oil and gas industry survive and even thrive in more and more new ways every day. Case in point: a line on the Erdos Miller website points out that, 10 years ago, the words “technology” and “completions” would not […]
Crash Opens Doors for Industry to Adopt Efficiencies in Productivity Software
Some geologists use a word, catastrophism, to describe what they see as sudden upheavals found in the geologic record. Mass extinctions, worldwide volcanic activity and things like that are included. Catastrophism could certainly describe recent workplace changes, resulting in a ramping up of reliance on technology including hardware, software and connectivity. Rob Roberts, director in […]
The AI Factor
AI as a concept is way past its sweet sixteen, but only in recent years has it become confident enough to learn to drive. Sooner than later it will be fully licensed and out on the streets. It’s the same in the Oil Patch, say experts. Companies are relying on AI for more and more […]
